Sign A Petition And Do Some Good

Two of my pals were at a bus stop outside The Bombay Palace in Glasgow on a Monday night a few weeks ago.

A young woman staggered up to them and stood in front of them, swaying slightly. Either under the the influence of drink or drugs.

In the typical nasal voice of the Glaswegian scum, she asked if they could maybe help her. They thought she was going to ask for money or cigarettes,

"Can yous maybe sign a petition to help me get my wean* back?"

She was swaying about, her skin was in a shite condition and they said she looked a perfect example of a smackhead. One of the guys just ignored her and started to walk away and she began to crowd the other guy, really getting in his face, saying that she really needed to get her kid back. He tried to back off and get away from her but she kept coming at him.

He didn't want to tell her to fuck off as he didn't want stabbed so he just kept telling her 'No' until she left him alone.

Have you ever heard anything like that?


* "wean" is a Scottish word for child, see...
