Brought a sick boy some soup £4.99 (total: £31.85)


There's a guy that sells the big issue down Carnaby Street, we chatted every day I walked past him for the two years I worked there. He remembers my name, but I can't remember his - he told me at midnight once when I was hammered handing him over a £10 because I felt bad. Anyway... he was sick the other day, all pallid and pinched round the edges with a grim gone glow around him - poor lamb. I brought him soup, bread, an apple and some orange juice. He still didn't seem that happy about it - a stiff glass of whisky would probably have been better, but Pret doesn't sell that - yet... Two hours later, and he'd perked up. He was shouting at some lady who'd trod on his toe.
