  People were talking about it on the bus. Is there a mattress out there? I think they might be there all night now as well.

  I think they're tolerated because they're not aggressive beggars, but I wonder how long for?

  I have seen several kinds of camp going on both inside and outside Tesco but never any drag queens/kings alas.

  yes, usually 2 or 3 asleep when I go for the tube on a morning, mattresses and all sorts of belongings.
  
  Agree, no agression from the 2 regulars there but some rather unsavoury characters hanging around over the course of the days, drinking super strength lager.
  
  Kind of waiting for it to all kick off at some point.

  So far the residents of this 'cardboard hamlet' have been conspicuously keeping themselves to themselves, and not even asking for change, never mind making aggressive comments. Almost as if they're trying to avoid anyone making a complaint to the local police.

  Perhaps the opening of Mexicali has inspired them to create their own favellah.

  Maybe they're setting up camp early for the Royal Wedding and they know something we don't know.
  
  Like Wills and Kate were parading down Stroud Green Road as part of the man and woman of the people strategy

  It uses Laxatives and Jam. If you want to know more send a self addressed envelope to Evil plans HQ (moray Road)

  I always suspected Moray Road was the pit of evil.

  Oh it is, you should visit at night, we dance semi naked in the sickly glow of the street light worshiping cats and doing unspeakable things to foxes.

  Sorry a little off topic but having just watched Muppets Treasure Island it was pointed out that Miss Piggy has fantastic legs but no breasts. Tis a strange world.

  She is not evil as such, she gave us classics like Pigs in Space and her portrayal of Mrs Emily Cratchit in The Muppet Christmas Carol was an Oscar worthy performance. I think your right about teats, hmm.

  They threatened the girl who was trying to sell the Big Issue there a few months ago (- see her sometimes selling BI up by the Sainsburys now) as it conflicted with their operation which is usually a bit of begging, bludging and dealing

  Yep, a few times now I've seen some drug dealing/sharing going on in the alcove to the right of the Tesco entrance.

  I thought the same, surely the park is a much better setting

  I'd quite like this little encampment to be broken up before they think it is their right to take over the street and annex it as theirs to use exclusively, particularly if they deal and take drugs in the neighbourhood. I'm a bit Zero tolerance on that kind of caper.

  Yes, as Sevlow points out, they have a flat in Wall Court - I saw them stumbling out of it this morning - so I don't know why they don't do it there.
  
  Perhaps because getting busted for possession of class A's on council property would lose them their tenancy (if they have one).

  @Krappy - these people are complete morons and retards, who would never think strategically. They're just a bunch of scum who deserve to be scooped up and shipped back out to Hackney or Tottenham where they belong.
