Like Jean, I don't like the sound of what your friends are proposing at all. In Southampton the drop outs and homeless get moved on all the time. In London it will be worse. Believe me, the streets are not nice places to be and the parks are out of bounds. Please recommend to your friends that they contact the YHA (Youth Hostel Association). This is a UK charity that provides excellent quality hostel accommodation at very reasonable prices, e.g. 14gbp to join, nightly rates vary according to hostel and room. They have two large hostels in London and one in most of the major UK cities. The large hostels are fully equipped for disabled people (they might have problems with some of the more remote ones but I assume they're not planning to go anywhere like Blacksail!). The YHA also has reciprocal arrangements with all the other national youth hostel associations. As well as providing safe, secure accommodation, the hostels are wonderful places to meet interesting, like-minded people, hear all the news and ideas, find out about places to go & etc. I've used them all round the world, not because I couldn't afford something more expensive but as a lone female they're great places to be. They have a web-site http://www.yha.org.uk/ Jane Ms Jane Read Southampton Oceanography Centre, Empress Dock, Southampton, SO14 3ZH, U.K. email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] tel: 02380-596432 To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
