People living rough

[patricks148]

With Inverness being a tourist area with people wild camping on the green spaces around the town, prob where they shouldn't. there has also been a few migrant workers also living rough in tents.

Theres always a few a about the canal and the old quarry. which i often pass while walking my dogs.

Anyway one tent which i assumed had just been left abandoned was found to have badly decomposed body inside this week. Ive been past this a fair few times and i have been having to put them both on leads when we do go close to it due to the smell, the last few times. I assumed the smell was human waste which is quite common with people sleeping rough.

can't believe ive been walking past a dead body for months and it can't have been just me!!!!

pretty worrying

Very sad, that anyone ends up dying along like that

Was in Manchester last weekend and could not believe the amount of street beggars and people sleeping rough there were this time. Have seen the odd one or two over the years, but there were a lot this time.

Plenty in Reading on a daily basis especially around the station and the shopping centre

I can't believe you can confuse the smell of a badly decomposing body with the smell of human waste.

Disappointing that no community police or street outreach teams had made contact.

Some of them are guys working, but there is also an element of tourists not wanting to pay to go in the couple of camp sites that are a stones trow away.

Last time i walked though the islands there were at least 3 separate groups camping all tourists. and there was human faeces in the bushes in several places.

have mentioned this to the council, they seem unconcerned.

how would i have known what a badly decomposing body smelt like???

The place smelt of Human ***** and we kept a good distance away as dogs always want to seek that out. lots of dog walkers go past

Well you should know what human waste smells like and a badly decomposing body smells nothing like that. No similarity between the two at all, so how you can confuse the two is beyond me.

well it stunk like feaces, but again how would i know what a dead body smelt like, if you had never smelt one??

Depends how close you are to the body. If there is human waste all over the place then that smell would be over powering. If you're given both in separate rooms yes there's a massive difference, but if there is one 20ft away and then 20 bushes surrounded by waste 5ft away. You wont smell the body in an open environment.

Missis T has just said she has smelled gangrenous flesh over the years but never a decomposing body. 🙁

Nope, that quote isn't in either of those.

Apart from a few constanants, vowels and capital letters missing, or in the wrong place. Plus the odd comma and full stop. And emotion.That's how I would of read it that we should know what a dead body smells like. That aside. Poor sod what a way to go.

Shame...

To the tangent.. It's not how I read it.. More like - You know what human waste smells like, and it doesn't smell like that (it really doesn't)..

As someone who sometimes has to work with rough sleepers my only request is if you see them and there begging instead of giving them any money (if you do), buy them a hot drink or a sarnie.
