Hulme 2


Since no attempts whatsoever have been made to grit the roads/pavements in Hulme, walking around in the snow is quite a problem. I have already fallen down and an old woman attempted to help me up. New lows.

So was coming home from a trip to London late at night and giving my arms a total work out by dragging my heavy case(now two stone heavier with mountains of snow infront of it) back through Hulme ghetto. From a distance I could see there was some sort of commotion at the shops. I was already wary of these shops as on a previous encounter the shop keeper had told me under no circumstances was I to give change to the man outside(with a limp of course). Not like I was going to indulge in such behaviours but the seriousness in his voice alarmed me. So there was dragging the case through the depths of the snow, and I see two police vans parked outside. I didn't want to look like I was overly interested in what was so going on, but obviously I was. I heard the police radio saying that there was definitely someone in there as they had seen movement, then suddenly a policeman ran out from behind the shops with a crutch under his arm which I suspect he had taken off some sort of invalid.

By this time I was nearly past the shops but trying to walk slowly so I could catch the action..unfortunately this was to no avail.

From now on, I am going to avoid the shops, although I did quite like the man in there because once he cleverly guessed I was going to make a sandwich with the products I was buying.
