UK - London - Man lies in street outside McDonalds

Diners ignore a man lying unconscious outside a McDonalds restaurant on a London street. As people get on with eating their burgers and fries such as illustrated in the window poster above their heads, the unfortunate man is horizontal on the pavement (sidewalk). He may be homeless or simply suffering from the effects of afternoon alcohol. The scene is almost Dickensian where the drunk were treated with disdain as they lay pitifully on London's streets, the outcasts of a socially-divided Britain.
