Don't Air Your Dirty Laundry Here
A laundrette in England has moved a tramp in - to act as overnight security. The homeless man, 50, keeps vigil in the shop in Crawley, West Sussex, after a window was broken last month. Owner Daniel Capstick refuses to have it mended, after claiming the council broke it. He said: "You get yobs hanging about outside, so Barry gives us a bit of security."

Hi David - Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteHey his surname isn't Manilow is it?? Nah - too young I guess.
At least he has a roof over his head albeit with broken window for extra ventilation.
Again with great footnote. Where do you get this stuff? So imaginative.
ReplyDeleteWell, that's a novel mutual arrangement!
ReplyDeleteHe'll protect the laundrette from things that go 'bum' in the night, for sure...
ReplyDeleteOh David! Thank you, thank you! You've just reminded me of a moment from my past that is definitely worth sharing. It will be my Friday night post (Saturday night to you, given our time zones).
ReplyDeleteGood clean humor ....
Well at least he could keep himself clean while he watches.
ReplyDeleteThink its a good idea!
Neat read. Have a nice holiday weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely way to solve the problem, good on the laundrette owner for helping the tramp at the same time as sorting out his problem.
ReplyDeleteYou'd think the owner might at least pay to fix the window in payment for this poor guy patrolling the place?
ReplyDeleteMarvelous idea!
ReplyDeleteNot such a bum deal for either of them, is it?
ReplyDeleteI think this is a wonderful idea...wish our area would consider this :) Happy Easter, David!
ReplyDeleteThanking God for the roof over my head, among other things, is a nightly ritual...
