MADAM - The people sleeping rough are wrapped in boxes, plastic sheets, blankets and I suspect being brought hot drinks.

During the night proper people sleeping rough are laid on cold concrete floors with a grubby overcoat on, if they are lucky.

Mr Carmichael was warmer when he was asleep than if he had been in his own bed.

Those people want to do it on a cold frosty night, not a mild night of their choice.
