George. a Gentleman of the Road.

An aged member of Manchester's homeless fraternity walked slowly along the street, hoping to collect enough spare change in the dirty and tattered polystyrene cup he was holding, to fund his next meal ... it was a pitiful sight! And as I carefully observed his progress, wondering if the public's generosity would extend to the cost of his much needed sustenance, I couldn't help but think to myself ... How do I possibly avoid giving this scruffy looking man any of my hard earned cash? It is said that you should never judge a book by its cover, yet the moment I laid eyes on George, that's exactly what I did! But in an unexpected turn of events and a surreal series of meetings, the man I had quickly pre-judged, revealed his extraordinary life. Funny, sad and heartwarmingly bizarre ... This is George's story!
