Sleeping rough is becoming a reality for more and more people in Wales.

0:00:060:00:10

The number of homeless are on the increase,

0:00:100:00:14

and now they exceed 10,000.

0:00:140:00:16

I never though this would happen to me. Never.

0:00:170:00:21

I wanted to discover why people became homeless,

0:00:210:00:25

how they manage to survive,

0:00:250:00:27

and why the largest numbers of homeless people are found here in Swansea.

0:00:270:00:32

For some, the only option is to try and survive on the streets.

0:00:320:00:37

If you're strong minded, then you can do it.

0:00:370:00:40

If you're not strong minded, then the only thing you'll end up doing is,

0:00:400:00:45

you'll end up in a box.

0:00:450:00:46

And following the lives of those with nowhere else to go

0:00:480:00:52

would prove to be an upsetting story.

0:00:520:00:54

Filmed over three months in the run-up to Christmas,

0:01:070:01:11

the toughest time of the year for the homeless,

0:01:110:01:14

this is the reality of living on Swansea's streets.

0:01:140:01:17

There's no simple reason as to why Swansea has become a magnet for homeless people.

0:01:230:01:28

They come from across Britain, from the surrounding valleys, and even from other countries.

0:01:280:01:33

Big Issue, please?

0:01:330:01:35

Thank you, lady.

0:01:350:01:37

In the summer, many sleep on the beach,

0:01:370:01:39

but in winter, it's a different story.

0:01:390:01:41

The hostels fill up

0:01:410:01:43

and those left out on the streets find shelter wherever they can.

0:01:430:01:49

The lucky ones stay with friends,

0:01:490:01:51

but they are just one step away from being on the streets.

0:01:510:01:54

I met Gavin. He was staying at a friend's, or "sofa surfing",

0:01:570:02:01

but he's just been told that his time's up on their sofa.

0:02:010:02:05

It come to a head where she said, right, I've had enough.

0:02:070:02:10

I want him out.

0:02:100:02:12

My mate said, look, I'm sorry,

0:02:120:02:14

there's nothing I can do about it,

0:02:140:02:16

she wears the pants, you've got to go, you know?

0:02:160:02:20

Gavin's 32 and first became homeless six months ago.

0:02:220:02:25

After a family breakdown, he was out on the streets.

0:02:270:02:31

He was living in Maesteg,

0:02:310:02:32

but soon realised he'd be better off in Swansea.

0:02:320:02:35

The town where I'm originally from, it's just a very small town,

0:02:400:02:44

and if I was to... I was homeless over there,

0:02:440:02:48

but there's nothing over there, there's no facilities,

0:02:480:02:51

there's no soup runs, there's no soup kitchens.

0:02:510:02:54

There's nowhere you can go for help.

0:02:540:02:55

There's nothing. Basically,

0:02:550:02:57

you're on the streets, and you are stuck on the streets.

0:02:570:03:00

You know, I must walk around here at least 30, 40 times a day,

0:03:000:03:07

round and round.

0:03:070:03:09

You know, choosing different routes.

0:03:090:03:12

During the winter, homeless people not only walk the streets to keep warm,

0:03:120:03:16

but also to avoid the attention of the police

0:03:160:03:19

who constantly move them on.

0:03:190:03:22

Once the town empties,

0:03:220:03:23

Gavin's on the lookout for something to make his night a little more comfortable.

0:03:230:03:27

They're rubbish, mate, are they? They're rubbish?

0:03:270:03:30

And he's chosen to return to one of his favourite spots,

0:03:340:03:38

an alleyway between two shops.

0:03:380:03:41

I've no doubt I'll be joined by a gang of others,

0:03:430:03:46

because this is where a lot of people come, especially in the rain.

0:03:460:03:51

Gather under the shelter by here.

0:03:510:03:53

How much sleep do you think you'll get, Gavin?

0:04:090:04:11

Two to three hours.

0:04:110:04:13

Maybe four.

0:04:150:04:16

Depending on the wind and the rain,

0:04:160:04:20

and I've got a bust sleeping bag, which doesn't help very much.

0:04:200:04:25

And that's me down for the night.

0:04:370:04:39

Sleeping rough is dangerous,

0:04:430:04:45

and I'd heard stories of homeless people being urinated on by drunks, kicked, and even worse.

0:04:450:04:50

Last year, a news report shocked the people of Swansea -

0:04:540:04:57

a murder of a homeless person right in the heart of the city.

0:04:570:05:02

Very quiet, especially opposite the supermarket when it's shut.

0:05:020:05:05

Alan, one of Swansea's long-term homeless, showed me where it happened.

0:05:050:05:09

Basically, there was two people involved in, um, in beating him up.

0:05:120:05:18

He got punched, stamped on, kicked.

0:05:180:05:22

And the scarf he was wearing he was strangled with.

0:05:220:05:25

As far as I know.

0:05:250:05:27

Well, apparently there was blood all over the walls, it was everywhere.

0:05:270:05:33

He wasn't even 30. He was only about 26.

0:05:330:05:37

And, um, after he passed away

0:05:380:05:41

there were flowers all down here,

0:05:410:05:44

on the wall, there, opposite, where the church is.

0:05:440:05:49

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter how many flowers you put down, it's not going to bring him back. You know?

0:05:490:05:55

I'd heard that violence, drugs, and alcohol

0:05:590:06:03

had led to the deaths on the streets of five people over the last three years.

0:06:030:06:09

I'd seen a guy cycling, who I was told was living rough.

0:06:140:06:17

I love my bike, I go everywhere on it.

0:06:190:06:22

It goes everywhere with me. It gets me from A to B.

0:06:230:06:27

I can ride from one end of Swansea to the other in half an hour.

0:06:270:06:30

Plus with this trailer thing I've got on the back, I've got something.

0:06:300:06:35

With a bike, it's easy to get away from the dangers of living on the city streets.

0:06:350:06:42

Most homeless people, they're just happy with a shop doorway,

0:06:420:06:46

or an archway or somewhere.

0:06:460:06:48

You get arrested, you meet the wrong people,

0:06:480:06:52

you start doing the wrong things.

0:06:520:06:54

You end up on a downward spiral, and, you know, there's no way out.

0:06:540:06:59

I followed him westward, towards The Mumbles.

0:07:000:07:04

I feel calmer down here, because I know there's no idiots,

0:07:070:07:12

nobody drunk, nobody on drugs.

0:07:120:07:15

That's why I like this place.

0:07:150:07:18

Adam grew up on the other side of Swansea Bay, in Port Talbot.

0:07:190:07:23

Now, he's living just beside one of Swansea's most affluent suburbs.

0:07:240:07:29

I've been homeless in Swansea twice, and came here both times.

0:07:310:07:36

Last time before that I was homeless, I was living in Cardiff,

0:07:360:07:40

and that was ten years ago.

0:07:400:07:42

It was Christmas time that I was on the street, then.

0:07:420:07:45

What's nice about living out here?

0:07:520:07:54

I can do pretty much what I want when I want, and how I want,

0:07:540:07:58

so, that's me, I'm happy.

0:07:580:08:01

Adam's well and truly off the beaten track.

0:08:010:08:03

The advantage is, no-one will bother him here.

0:08:030:08:07

I could have just been to the gym.

0:08:150:08:17

There's my tent, campfire,

0:08:170:08:20

and my stash of wood.

0:08:200:08:22

I'm happy.

0:08:240:08:25

Adam is more resourceful than most,

0:08:300:08:32

and doesn't have to rely on charity for a hot meal or a drink.

0:08:320:08:35

Were you ever in the Boy Scouts?

0:08:390:08:41

-No.

-So, where have you learnt all this from?

0:08:410:08:43

Ray Mears and Bear Grylls.

0:08:430:08:45

Three weeks ago, Adam had a roof over his head,

0:08:480:08:51

but a falling out with a housemate resulted in a fight.

0:08:510:08:54

And he ended up in trouble with the law.

0:08:540:08:57

Adam is a loner. He finds it difficult to live together with others,

0:08:590:09:04

and when he has to, it all too often ends up in rows and disagreements.

0:09:040:09:09

Because of the way people perceive me, what they want,

0:09:090:09:14

and what they need, they're the ones that are creating violence.

0:09:140:09:19

'I don't want to get into trouble.

0:09:210:09:23

'Having something like that forced on me,

0:09:230:09:26

'I've got to, literally, knock them out or jump on them then ponder everything.

0:09:260:09:32

'Then I end up in court, in prison, and paying fines,

0:09:320:09:36

'and doing community service.

0:09:360:09:39

'But that's not me, I hate being violent.'

0:09:390:09:41

Adam knows only too well the realities of rough sleeping.

0:09:410:09:45

Last time I was homeless during the winter,

0:09:460:09:50

I didn't have the tent. I was sleeping in shop doorways, car parks,

0:09:500:09:54

lifts, people's houses, couch surfing.

0:09:540:10:00

And it's not an enjoyable experience.

0:10:020:10:04

What's the prospects of the weather for the next month or so?

0:10:040:10:09

Dismal.

0:10:090:10:11

Finally got the fire going, so things are looking up.

0:10:140:10:19

Whether or not I can keep it going all night, though,

0:10:190:10:22

that's a different story.

0:10:220:10:23

I'm going to get all my stuff together

0:10:320:10:34

and get in the tent before I get bloody soaked.

0:10:340:10:37

Again.

0:10:370:10:39

Cheers.

0:10:440:10:45

Two miles away in the city centre,

0:10:530:10:55

it's harder for rough sleepers to find shelter in bad weather.

0:10:550:11:00

They don't care about the homeless people over here,

0:11:010:11:04

they only care about the rich.

0:11:040:11:06

Tracy is homeless

0:11:060:11:08

and she's heading for an underpass.

0:11:080:11:11

Tracy is not the first Irish person to step off the ferry from Cork

0:11:360:11:40

and end up living on Swansea's streets.

0:11:400:11:43

I first noticed her four weeks ago.

0:11:450:11:47

When the weather was warmer, she was sleeping rough close to the beach,

0:11:470:11:52

but now she's had enough of the colder nights.

0:11:520:11:55

First thing this morning,

0:11:550:11:57

Tracy joined other rough sleepers at the Access Point,

0:11:570:12:01

a Swansea charity who have been helping the homeless for the last 15 years.

0:12:010:12:06

Each day, they allocate Swansea's one and only emergency bed for the night

0:12:060:12:11

to the homeless person most in need,

0:12:110:12:14

and Tracy's put her name down for it.

0:12:140:12:16

She's in competition with three others.

0:12:180:12:21

At 12.30 each day, the staff decide who gets the bed.

0:12:240:12:27

-All right, Trace?

-All right.

0:12:280:12:32

Right, you didn't get the bed today.

0:12:320:12:34

-You all right?

-Yeah.

0:12:340:12:36

Keep trying tomorrow, all right? Right.

0:12:360:12:40

-I can't.

-You what?

0:12:400:12:41

It's a big disappointment for Tracy,

0:12:450:12:48

who has spent three days with nowhere else to sleep but the streets.

0:12:480:12:53

But then, luckily,

0:12:580:12:59

there's an immediate turnaround in Tracy's fortunes.

0:12:590:13:04

Good news, now, you've got the bed.

0:13:060:13:08

The person who we went to give the bed to has turned it down,

0:13:080:13:11

so you've got it tonight. Six o'clock, OK?

0:13:110:13:13

-Yes, thanks very much.

-Wasn't me, it was them.

0:13:130:13:16

-Thanks very much, pet, ta.

-No problem.

0:13:340:13:36

From the start, Tracy's had a tough time in Swansea.

0:13:360:13:40

When she arrived, she was with her boyfriend.

0:13:400:13:43

But after a fight, he promptly abandoned her.

0:13:430:13:46

What she revealed next didn't surprise me,

0:13:460:13:49

and wasn't untypical of Swansea's life on the streets.

0:13:490:13:54

This is my habit, and I'm not afraid to open the thing and drink it.

0:13:540:13:57

This has been my habit since a young age, since I've been nine.

0:13:570:14:01

I've been drinking at a very young age,

0:14:010:14:03

and I've been fighting it,

0:14:030:14:04

so I'm not ashamed to show people that I am a drinker.

0:14:040:14:07

I'll get done for this, for opening a can and drinking it,

0:14:070:14:11

but it's just a habit I have.

0:14:110:14:12

I drank when I was young,

0:14:140:14:15

but then I started going out with a fella who was an alcoholic.

0:14:150:14:18

He got me on the drink. I was turning into an alcoholic then.

0:14:180:14:22

I went on the drink more heavier.

0:14:220:14:25

Since then, it's the fighting. I'll come off it for a while,

0:14:250:14:29

then I'm back on it, off it and back on it.

0:14:290:14:31

It's hard to beat, an illness,

0:14:310:14:33

because a drinking problem is an illness,

0:14:330:14:36

and I'm not going to hide it and say I don't have a habit.

0:14:360:14:38

It's just an illness.

0:14:380:14:41

Tracy's family have no idea she's living on the streets.

0:14:420:14:47

My family ignore me now.

0:14:470:14:49

And she's not the only outsider who is separated from her family.

0:14:540:14:58

Big Issue, please? Thank you.

0:14:580:15:00

Swansea seems to attract migrants from everywhere.

0:15:000:15:03

The most recent arrivals are those from Romania,

0:15:030:15:07

who come here in search of a better life.

0:15:070:15:10

Many of them sell The Big Issue to help them towards getting a better job.

0:15:100:15:15

Georghika followed in the footsteps of others who came to Swansea.

0:15:150:15:19

And he's been selling the magazine three years. He's homeless,

0:15:190:15:23

but he's not down and out.

0:15:230:15:25

So you make everybody happy?

0:15:250:15:27

Yes, happy, yes, yes.

0:15:270:15:29

He buys each magazine for a pound and sells them on for two.

0:15:310:15:35

Two pounds, please.

0:15:350:15:38

Money, coffee, money, tea, a new magazine, tea, coffee,

0:15:380:15:43

very good people in Swansea.

0:15:430:15:45

Thank you very much.

0:15:450:15:47

What he lacks as a linguist he makes up for with his charm.

0:15:470:15:50

Yes, bye-bye, lady.

0:15:500:15:52

What was your job in Romania?

0:15:520:15:55

Um...

0:15:550:15:57

Coal mining.

0:15:590:16:01

HE COUGHS

0:16:020:16:05

He was telling me he was a coal miner.

0:16:050:16:06

I had to find out more, so I found someone who could translate.

0:16:060:16:10

But what were conditions like in a Romanian coal mine?

0:16:100:16:15

HE SPEAKS IN ROMANIAN

0:16:150:16:18

He himself was the machine.

0:16:220:16:24

There were lots of accidents.

0:16:260:16:28

HE SPEAKS IN ROMANIAN

0:16:280:16:31

Most of the accidents that happened in the mine were deadly.

0:16:310:16:36

The mine closed and there were no other jobs in Romania.

0:16:360:16:39

So Georghika came here.

0:16:390:16:41

Big Issue, please?

0:16:410:16:43

Selling the magazine is hard going,

0:16:430:16:46

and he doesn't make anywhere near enough money

0:16:460:16:50

to pay for a permanent place to live.

0:16:500:16:51

Good, have a nice day.

0:16:510:16:53

But actually, Georghika prefers this to the life back home.

0:16:530:16:56

A couple of days later, I ran into him again on the high street.

0:16:590:17:04

He was in a different mood, and wanted me to follow him.

0:17:040:17:08

But I didn't know why.

0:17:080:17:09

-Georghika?

-Yes.

0:17:090:17:11

-Where are we going?

-Um...sleeping.

0:17:110:17:14

No house, no money, homeless.

0:17:140:17:17

Off the main street, right next to a block of flats,

0:17:170:17:21

we came to a fence, beyond which there is a small pavilion.

0:17:210:17:26

It was here that he used to sleep.

0:17:260:17:27

-How long?

-Six months.

0:17:290:17:31

-You sleep there?

-Yes.

0:17:320:17:34

HE SPEAKS ROMANIAN

0:17:340:17:37

He'd sneak in, climb over the fence,

0:17:410:17:43

and disappear in the morning before anyone found out.

0:17:430:17:46

This bench was his bed, sheltered from the rain,

0:17:480:17:51

but still exposed to the cold.

0:17:510:17:53

So, where was he staying now?

0:17:550:17:57

A friend gave him this key after he'd vacated his flat and left town.

0:17:580:18:03

But the trouble is, neither of them are paying the rent,

0:18:030:18:06

so Georghika is squatting.

0:18:060:18:08

The next day, I asked Georghika if I could visit him.

0:18:100:18:14

He would like to welcome you in his room,

0:18:140:18:18

but he doesn't want to have problem with the city and county of Swansea,

0:18:180:18:22

because they might kick him out of the room,

0:18:220:18:24

so he will be homeless again.

0:18:240:18:26

Even now, when he will go to the room, he might find the room closed.

0:18:260:18:31

But he will have troubles.

0:18:310:18:33

And he doesn't want to sleep in winter outside.

0:18:330:18:36

It will only be a matter of time before his luck runs out

0:18:360:18:40

and he's out on the streets again.

0:18:400:18:43

As winter approaches, it plays on the minds of those I met sleeping out,

0:18:460:18:51

and as it gets colder,

0:18:510:18:53

even the most hardened rough sleepers

0:18:530:18:55

make a more determined effort to find somewhere indoors.

0:18:550:18:59

On the outskirts of Swansea, Adam is still camping out.

0:19:020:19:07

It's 7.00am.

0:19:070:19:09

How was your night, Adam?

0:19:140:19:16

Bloody terrible.

0:19:160:19:18

What is that noise?

0:19:200:19:22

You're kind of roughing it, but not when it comes to your dental hygiene?

0:19:250:19:29

No, you've got to look after your teeth.

0:19:290:19:31

When I'm homeless, there is no point lazing around in bed,

0:19:340:19:39

because you miss everything.

0:19:390:19:41

And you don't get a place sorted.

0:19:430:19:46

It's getting colder, and Adam has to find somewhere to live,

0:19:480:19:52

but his options are limited. He's unemployed,

0:19:520:19:56

he's serving a community service order and paying off a fine,

0:19:560:20:00

so there's no money left to pay the deposit on a room.

0:20:000:20:03

Undeterred, he sets off to see

0:20:050:20:07

if there's a landlord who can offer a deal he can afford.

0:20:070:20:10

Close to Swansea city centre,

0:20:150:20:17

almost every day, the homeless wait for a free meal offered by one of the charities.

0:20:170:20:23

Mother Teresa's Sisters of Mercy have set up a mission here.

0:20:230:20:26

There are four sisters who are dedicated to helping the homeless,

0:20:280:20:33

but there are conditions attached.

0:20:330:20:35

..Glorifying and praising God.

0:20:350:20:37

The mission has 12 hostel beds, but the nuns have rules.

0:20:380:20:43

You have to be in by five o'clock,

0:20:430:20:45

and you can only get a place if you give up alcohol.

0:20:450:20:49

Sister Vinedha gives one of them a blanket.

0:20:500:20:53

She is the best lady in the world.

0:20:530:20:56

She gives us dinners,

0:20:560:20:58

and if I wish, in my own sweet way,

0:20:580:21:03

I'd get a bed.

0:21:030:21:05

If you are sober, I will give you a bed.

0:21:050:21:09

Timothy is one of Swansea's long-term homeless

0:21:090:21:12

and his life is dominated by drink.

0:21:120:21:15

Don't worry, be happy,

0:21:150:21:20

cos if you're not happy, I won't be happy.

0:21:200:21:24

It's unlikely that he will ever overcome his addiction.

0:21:240:21:27

After just one hour without a drink,

0:21:270:21:30

I'd seen Timothy become ill with the shakes.

0:21:300:21:34

And I hate doing that.

0:21:340:21:35

Timothy came here 15 years ago from Belfast,

0:21:380:21:40

after falling in love with a Welsh woman.

0:21:400:21:43

But the relationship broke down.

0:21:430:21:46

Now, the streets of Swansea are his home.

0:21:460:21:49

But just how long had Timothy been homeless?

0:21:490:21:52

Seven... About 20 years.

0:21:520:21:57

20 years. I'm 54 years of age. 20 years.

0:21:570:22:03

And is that nice? I've two daughters.

0:22:030:22:07

One is 27, the fourth of December,

0:22:070:22:13

and one is 20.

0:22:130:22:16

And do you think I enjoy this?

0:22:170:22:19

My life is gone.

0:22:200:22:23

Timothy is living on borrowed time.

0:22:270:22:29

The life expectancy of homeless men is 47.

0:22:290:22:34

And for women, it's even younger, just 43.

0:22:340:22:37

In the late afternoon, I get a surprise call from Tracy.

0:22:410:22:45

She wants to meet.

0:22:450:22:46

She's returned to the tunnel under Swansea train station.

0:22:500:22:54

The last time I saw her was five days ago,

0:22:540:22:58

when she had managed to get the emergency bed.

0:22:580:23:00

But since then, I had no idea what had happened to her.

0:23:000:23:03

And now, she wasn't making much sense.

0:23:060:23:09

She told me that she'd been staying with someone,

0:23:220:23:25

but an argument meant she was now back on the streets.

0:23:250:23:28

This morning, she had gone to the homeless charity

0:23:280:23:31

and tried to get the emergency bed for the night.

0:23:310:23:33

Lighter is not working.

0:23:550:23:56

Swansea's a shithole.

0:23:560:23:59

It's a fucking shithole.

0:23:590:24:01

Back-stabbing bastards, they'll talk about you behind your back

0:24:010:24:04

but don't say it to your face.

0:24:040:24:06

I lost touch with Tracy after this,

0:24:240:24:27

and two weeks later, heard that she'd left Swansea.

0:24:270:24:30

Adam, too, had gone off my radar.

0:24:360:24:39

I even went to his camp

0:24:390:24:41

in an attempt to find out if he'd managed to find somewhere to live.

0:24:410:24:45

Then, out of the blue,

0:24:450:24:46

at a church that has become a drop-in centre for the homeless,

0:24:460:24:50

Adam turns up.

0:24:500:24:52

Happy.

0:24:520:24:53

I've finally got a place. Moved in yesterday.

0:24:540:24:57

Just come to get a cup of tea with my cousin.

0:24:570:25:00

I haven't seen him for about three years.

0:25:000:25:02

Adam can at last strike camp.

0:25:040:25:07

He'd managed to find a landlord who was willing to rent a room

0:25:070:25:10

without having to pay a deposit upfront.

0:25:100:25:13

I didn't want to be in a tent over Christmas, no.

0:25:160:25:21

This is home for me now.

0:25:320:25:35

All my criminal days are behind me now.

0:25:410:25:44

I can't see me going back to the way I was.

0:25:440:25:46

I love my music.

0:25:480:25:50

The whole time that I've been homeless,

0:25:500:25:55

that was what kept me focused.

0:25:550:25:57

So, do you think you're going to be happy here?

0:25:570:25:59

I know I'm going to be happy.

0:25:590:26:01

Any of you two ever heard of Feeder?

0:26:030:26:05

This evening, it's not just the homeless who are on the streets.

0:26:100:26:14

The whole town is out to see Swansea's Christmas parade.

0:26:140:26:19

But how will Timothy react?

0:26:190:26:21

Ffff...

0:26:210:26:23

What do you see?

0:26:240:26:26

I see a lot of people.

0:26:260:26:29

Oh, man, a fierce lot of people.

0:26:290:26:34

And they're waiting for something.

0:26:360:26:39

I shall ask.

0:26:420:26:44

Watch me.

0:26:440:26:46

Excuse me, what are they waiting for?

0:26:460:26:48

The Christmas lights are being switched on, sir.

0:26:480:26:51

Oh. Thank you.

0:26:510:26:52

I love it. Do you know something?

0:26:540:26:58

I love them kids up there,

0:26:580:27:01

because they look... Look what you're seeing.

0:27:010:27:04

You're seeing Wales.

0:27:060:27:07

I am delirious.

0:27:080:27:10

I didn't think it was going to be like this.

0:27:140:27:17

As the evening progresses, Timothy's mood changes,

0:27:200:27:23

and the big moment of switching on the Christmas lights is lost on him.

0:27:230:27:28

I didn't take any notice of them, man.

0:27:300:27:32

Homeless people, do they have Christmas?

0:27:370:27:41

I know I will never have a Christmas sleeping on the streets.

0:27:410:27:48

There are 34 days left until the big day.

0:27:560:27:58

For those on the streets, it's a heart-wrenching countdown,

0:27:580:28:03

a reminder of their broken families,

0:28:030:28:05

and children who they've lost touch with.

0:28:050:28:07

Next time on my journey onto the streets of Swansea...

0:28:100:28:15

Georghika has been kicked out of his flat,

0:28:150:28:18

and now he's sleeping in the park.

0:28:180:28:20

Very cold. Very cold.

0:28:200:28:22

The police crack down on drinking on the streets.

0:28:220:28:25

The way you're going, you'll get arrested!

0:28:250:28:28

Don't have a go at me, it's my daughter's birthday.

0:28:280:28:33

And a drifter turns up, who's been homeless for 30 years.

0:28:330:28:37

I'm feral, you know the word feral? What does that mean?

0:28:370:28:40

Is that a sweater? Fairisle?

0:28:400:28:42

No, it means, when, like, you live off the land.
