  • Welcome to this video everyone! In this video I go and sit next to Andy, who I found sat on a wet, cold street in Manchester. He has been homeless for a long time. Chatting with him was really interesting. It was a real eye-opener hearing what he had to say, and was yet another reminder of how lucky I am to have a roof over my head and a warm, safe place to live, food on my plate and all the other basic necessities of life. I was amazed at how positive he was, which was also a valuable lesson. How can I complain, and be negative in my life when I have everything I need and much more.
    This was a special experience and one that I think is worth sharing! I hope you'll enjoy this video as much as I enjoyed spending time with Andy.

    It's amazing, this guy has nothing, & no place to put it, yet he's attitude, & outlook is better & more positive than a lot of comfortable, wealthy people. Thanks for taking the time.

    Thanks Joe. I live in Boston, USA and since the pandemic, I've see a huge rise in homelessness in the greater Boston area. It shocking and very sad to see the plight of these unfortunate people.

      Nice one man, that's really cool! I always keep an eye out for him, but I haven't seen him since that day, so he might well have gotten into that hotel. Cheers for the support

    Sometimes being homeless is better than the previous life. I've lived on the road for over 5 yrs and off grid for nearly 20... Yeah, it's not always easy but better than 'civilisation'.

    Brilliant video. Andy seems amazing. I've seen a few videos around homeless and you were by far the best at getting the message across without being patronising etc. I'd love to know how he's doing. I hope he got sorted. .
