Thats a great story mate , good on you...I did a very similar thing way back when i lived in London... I met a guy sat in a doorway in Blackheath , a vagrant.. Nothing unusual about a vagrant , but you don,t see them in Blackheath , its a place where people with money lived , i was one of them... The thing that drew my attention was that this guy wore an old army medal , and yes it was genuine , he was an old soldier who had fallen on hard times... I guessed if i gave him money he would have spent it on drink , so i rode my motorcycle home , and came back with some clothes for him , a whole pile of food . and yes i also gave him a fistfull of money... He said he would use the money to go to see his sister in Scotland , he had been reluctant to do so before due to his grubby appearance , but now he had the money for a hotel , some new clothes and his fare to Scotland....I wasn,t convinced he would actually do it , but i gave him my address and told him to let me know how he got on....
I didn,t hear from him untill a year and a half later , he was living in Scotland , the manager of a sports shop , and was engaged to be married....I went to his wedding later that year.... he says i saved his life , i doubt thats true , but i like to think i gave him a hand....
