A well deserved MBE
« on: Apr 18, 2019, 10:59:12 AM »
A man who was a homeless alcoholic for ten years has been awarded an MBE for his work with rough sleepers.  For anyone who doesn't believe sleeping on the streets is a lifestyle choice, this might be worth a read.  For those who think everyone is the master or mistress of their own destiny, ignore it.

That really is well deserved, I am very pleased for the man and how his life turned around.


Brian and 1 or 2 others on here should read that.

It might have been Brian who told him 'get a job'.  😉

Just a little note to Bee. Why do you always knock other peoples posts? We are all different with different opinions. You are not a very happy camper yourself. No offense!

I think Audrine was referring to  "Brian and 1 or 2 others on here should read that."    I don't think it was  "knocking"  maybe having a wee dig  ;D   ?

Alex I was neither knocking or having a dig, it was an observation after reading the link GrannyMac posted.
