About Me

Story 1 :
I was busking in Glasgow when I saw a tramp coming. He was getting closer so I decided to pack up for the day. I new he would want some money, so I finished the song and started putting my stuff away, but it was too late. He arrived as I zipped up my guitar bag. Well the cloud of fly's and various odours arrived first with him just behind. He looked at me. "mumble mumble" He said "What ?" I said "croak mumble" "Can you speak up I can't hear you" "Huv ye got two bob for a cup of tea" I managed to make out. I pointed out that he would spend it on drink but he just kept asking for two bob for a cup of tea. I decided to offer him something to eat. "Do you want something to eat ?" I asked "hurrurf" he nodded Looking around I couldn't see a place to get some food. The nearest McDonalds was at Glasgow Central. I asked him to wait but he insisted on coming with me. It was a sunny day with thousands of people about and we set off towards the train station. At Mcdonalds I got a cheesburger and chips went outside to give them to the guy. "There you go" I said. Expecting thanks. "mumble mumble" He said. "What ?" I asked "Huv ye got two bob for a cup of tea ?" He asked again. I left him with his burger.
