I live on a busy street in York. It's a route home from the pubs, so in the last two weeks I've:
Dragged a bloke inside my house to get him away from a bunch of chavs trying to mug him, then entertained him with whiskey and fags and packed him off home once the coast was clear.
Got a cab for a girl (and paid for it) who was wandering down the street in bare feet looking completely off her head who put her arm around me slurring "Can I be in the group?" (my girlfriend's answer: "It's not a group, it's a couple. It doesn't work with you!").
Tonight: Picked a drunk 65 year old Italian bloke called Angelo off the pavement, put his shoe back on and half-carried him to his house a mile or so away, having to stop every 100 metres or so to receive a catholic blessing from him and prayers to get Jesus to make me see the light and start attending church.
I think it goes with the territory and I assume that just because I don't see my neighbours doing this it doesn't mean they're not actually doing it when I'm not there. So who else lives in a derelict hot-spot like I do?
