I don't go to the West End very often but have done recently and the number of rough sleepers down the Charing Cross Road reminded me of what it was like in the 1980's.
Whats happened ?

Some businesses around here no longer accept cash, only cards or other types of i-payment. When cash and coins disappear how will we give direct charity to street people?
