Default Can I receive mail at UK youth hostels? ( A London hostel)

So.. here's the plan....

I stay for one night at a London backpacker hostel/etc.

I receive mail there

I tell all my banks that is my new address

then I emigrate


Then all the mail that comes will be 'RETURN TO SENDER' by the youth
hostel..




Also... what if I stayed in the UK.. but wanted to avoid those pesky
debt collectors and baliffs? I could just use my youth hostel address.

btw.. how do homeless people get mail? Not all of them are tramps, some
of them are educated people... what do they do?

Or indeed any other address, like your local police station.

Why not ask the next one you see?

We have friends of family who can provide us with an address.

Use your youth hostel address for what? Living in?

If they are homeless they don't get mail.

You can ask your local post office to hold it for you, or get a proper
PO Box address.

Why should they want mail if they choose to be homeless?

To get things like new credit cards delivered to them, or cheques, or
all sorts, the same sort of reasons everyone else wants mail.

Homeless people will get credit cards and cheques?

You act like they are living a similar life to the rest of us.

I am a homeless person and I do... Do you think the travel-lodge
where I've slept most nights this year would be happy to deal with the
post for me?

You seem to have a very narrow view of what a homeless person might
be.

I have no home, so I'm homeless, the only place I've slept
successively for more than 6 days this year was on holiday - exactly
what definition are you requiring for homeless, and how are you so
sure the OP was using your own rather peculiar definition?

Do people 'choose' to be homeless? Do homeless people not have anyone
to send them mail? Not even the Benefits Agency?

Warning: this will resemble a rant...

I think maybe you should take a wander around your local big town and
speak to some of the people you see huddled up in shop doorways. Ask
them how much they really like it when it's pouring with rain. I
suspect that most people would much prefer to have a decent roof over
their heads, but it's all too easy to get into a downward spiral. You
need a permanent address to get a job; you need a job to pay the rent.
Where, then, do you start? It's all very well for us in our cosy houses
and flats to tell people to get off their arses and find a job, but if
someone can't find paid employment with qualifications and a nice cosy
middle class mortgage what hope has someone without (apparently)
anything going for them?

You do at least have some sort of base, or you wouldn't be able to post
to this NG...

Are you serious? I mean, are you really serious? Here's a hostel with
6 beds and here are 7 people. What are you going to do? Honestly, what
are you going to do? Are you going to shove the unfortunate 7th on the
floor, or are you going to tell him (or her) that you're very sorry but
you're full and don't have a spare bed? For pity's sake, THINK before
you type.

Calm down. Get a grip of yourself.

Hysterical people like you are no use to anyone.

Look at the following site. There's plenty of ways to get somewhere to
stay.

You evidently don't know (m)any homeless. Some often get letters from
friends and family - delivered to maildrops such as shelters, vicarages,
etc. Some homeless have even used the telephone to keep in contact.

There are various definitions of homeless, which can include administrative,
political, social, self-defined, other-defined, etc.

Most homeless people can receive mail directed to a different address. This
may be the address of a friend, organisation, etc.

Homeless people can and do have bank accounts, jobs, cars, etc.

You do not need a job to pay your rent - benefits can pay this.

You do not need a mortgage to get a home - you can rent from private or
social landlords.

Most homeless hostels are not dormitory based.

A lot of homelessness is not caused through poverty or lack of income,
whether earned or through the benefits system (although this can be a
contributory factor), but through issues such as mental (ill)health and
substance mis-use.

What why? Even when I sleep in the car or the tent I have no problem
powering the laptop, and the datacard will get me online even if
there's no wifi, although I tend to have little trouble finding that,
and it's a lot cheaper, even without though Usenet is a pretty good
way of good spending the time without having to pay to download a lot
of data.

I do have a base of some sort certainly, but it's got nowt to do with
my ability to post to usenet.

I've no idea, you've not told me, you've told me one fact about it
though, that I don't come into your definition, that's why I believe
it's weird, because I am homeless.

It's also peculiar in that you don't believe there would be any reason
to send them mail.

As for being no use to anyone, perhaps you should ask my children if I'm

You say my definition is peculaiar but now you say you don't know what
my definition is!

If you're staying most nights at a place and chose to spend some
nights in a car that's weird but your choice. I don't think it means
you are homeless.

This seems pretty hysterical to me:

"Are you serious? I mean, are you really serious?"

"For pity's sake, THINK before you type."

You ask what should be done if there isn't enough room in a hostel and
when I tell you you ignore it. That's an example of being useless.

What's your children got to do with anything?

I'd slept the most this yeah was a travel-lodge, I've still stayed
there no more than 50 days this year.

Not hysterical, just having difficulty believing that anyone so
apparently literate could be so mentally dense.

Where did you tell me the answer? Could you repeat it please, because
I've missed it somehow.

> What's your children got to do with anything?

You told me I was useless. They might disagree. They'd also disagree
about the hysteria. Still, if you want to infer things from my posts,
you carry on.

Here:

"Do you think the travel-lodge where I've slept most nights this year
would be happy to deal with the post for me?"

So there was a missing the, I'm sorry. I note you've not answered the
question though, of what your definition is for homelessness, and why
I don't qualify?

I showed you an example of reality with the link but you missed it. It
seemed quite easy to spot to someone of reasonable intelligence yet
maybe someone who resorts to insults as soon as someone disagrees with
them has problems.

Your children will agree with you? Well done, you must be right!

I've seen you inferring things from my posts yet if I do it in a
logical way you don't like it. Typical!
