But something about this shouting match made me stop and stare.

For a start, there was only one voice and it repeated the same phrase again and again, increasing in volume as its owner became more and more angry.

It came from a bloke in a tracksuit and was being directed at another chap sitting in quiet resignation on a wet pavement, a hand-made cardboard sign made soggy by the rain at his side asking for donations.

"You're not homeless! You're not homeless!"

Now, I'm no expert but the chap on the floor appeared pretty homeless to me, surrounded as he was by what looked like his worldly goods in bags of varying colours and sizes.
