Some of the key point that I thought were interesting when watching this interview.
- I never did drugs until I became homeless, Its so easy to get.
- School children are horrible. They say “Im gonna kick your arse”....Why because i live outside? - I thought that this was really interesting, it shows the sort of things homeless guys go through. This will be something i want to add into my script, especially the Line “Why because I live outside”
- It gets to your body, I limp when I walk, and my back always hurts from sleeping on the floor. - Again another talking point
- People move away from you- move off benches, hold there breath when they walk past etc.
- I always get into fights because you get some drunk teenager taking the piss out of me, then you’d the’ll them to go away and they will kick off.
- You don’t get excepted in a lot of places, people look at you funny.
- You feel so lonely, you could b sitting there in a group of homeless people ad still feel lonely.
I try to get a job, but i don’t look presentable. They tell me to leave a number, But i dont have a phone so i don’t have a number
Some days I will get enough money to be able to sleep in a hostel but if not I have to sleep in the park or in one of the street, and then the security guard will come and move me on at like 5-6 in the morning. So then Im out trying to make enough money to survive.
I rely on people who come of the train. Some of them i have gain respect from and will bring me clothes, food and money, Then at the end of the day i will count my money and if I done have enough I will sleep on the floor.

The Interviews also allowed me to see that kind of clothes/ look everyday homeless guys wear. They are all unshaven, have a few bruises on there faces. Also the clothes are very dull, they are purely there to keep them warm, there is no designer in them which represents how poor they are. The clothes are also big on the Guys which can represent how small they are in the word maybe.
