On walking down Coney Street, Monday lunchtime, I passed Woolworths and spotted a young man carrying a large piece of cardboard with the words "I need some friends" (or close to that, as I only glanced really quickly).
My thoughts were: one - why? what is he doing? Has he really got no friends, or is he just trying to spread some Christmas cheer and put a smile on the faces of passers-by? Or was he raising money and trying to get as many people as possible to speak to him?
Then again, was he having a big party and needed to fill a room!!!
So can someone solve the mystery of this "Billie No-Mates" for me?
What exactly was he doing?
