I seem to recall that in Winchester last year they tried to count the number of homeless. They kept trying every night to get the count up from one to six. I think the figure six was what they have calculated they should have and it formed the basis of appointing a homeless liaison officer.
What why? Even when I sleep in the car or the tent I have no problem powering the laptop, and the datacard will get me online even if there's no wifi, although I tend to have little trouble finding that, and it's a lot cheaper, even without though Usenet is a pretty good way of good spending the time without having to pay to download a lot of data.
I do have a base of some sort certainly, but it's got nowt to do with my ability to post to usenet.

I've no idea, you've not told me, you've told me one fact about it though, that I don't come into your definition, that's why I believe it's weird, because I am homeless.
It's also peculiar in that you don't believe there would be any reason to send them mail.
Jim.
That would be a problem of counting homelessness with street sleeping, they're different things, street sleeping is just the most depressig end of the spectrum.
Jim.
Blimey, I've never been called hysterical before!
As for being no use to anyone, perhaps you should ask my children if I'm any use before you put me out to grass...
OK, fair enough.
Sorry.
You say my definition is peculaiar but now you say you don't know what my definition is!
If you're staying most nights at a place and chose to spend some nights in a car that's weird but your choice. I don't think it means you are homeless.
This seems pretty hysterical to me:
"Are you serious? I mean, are you really serious?"
"For pity's sake, THINK before you type."
You ask what should be done if there isn't enough room in a hostel and when I tell you you ignore it. That's an example of being useless.
What's your children got to do with anything?
Where did I say I "staying most nights at a place" I said the place I'd slept the most this yeah was a travel-lodge, I've still stayed there no more than 50 days this year.
Jim.
Not hysterical, just having difficulty believing that anyone so apparently literate could be so mentally dense.
Where did you tell me the answer? Could you repeat it please, because I've missed it somehow.
You told me I was useless. They might disagree. They'd also disagree about the hysteria. Still, if you want to infer things from my posts, you carry on.
Here:
"Do you think the travel-lodge where I've slept most nights this year would be happy to deal with the post for me?"
I showed you an example of reality with the link but you missed it. It seemed quite easy to spot to someone of reasonable intelligence yet maybe someone who resorts to insults as soon as someone disagrees with them has problems.
Read my message and follow the link.
Your children will agree with you? Well done, you must be right!
I've seen you inferring things from my posts yet if I do it in a logical way you don't like it. Typical!
So there was a missing the, I'm sorry. I note you've not answered the question though, of what your definition is for homelessness, and why I don't qualify?
Jim.
When did you ask that question?
For the reasons most people who... job applications, medical appointments...
Axel
Maybe they didn't 'chose' to be homeless!
Oh dear, are you getting hysterical now?(:-)
That is too much of a risk, I think you should withdraw that suggestion before it's too late!
