I know there are many homeless adults and runaway kids in the U.K.?

I have seen programmes and am a fan of Mary Ellen Mark's work on homeless Americans. I am also aware that many families in the U.K. live in bed and breakfast and hostels. But I am wondering if there are any homeless families in the U.K. That live in cars or are sleeping 'on the street' Do you know of any areas in the U.K. that there are families who have nowhere to live except the street? Will the coming recession put more Brits in the position of the American people who live in cars?

Dr Science and reed, It is clearly a question and one I am curious about. Personally I have never witnessed, nor do I know of any families living on the street in Britain, but I wondered if they exist and I just don't know of the problem or if ALL British families have somewhere they can sleep. Why did you bother reponding without bothering to read this question properly?
Ronnie and grumpy: Thank you for your insight and taking the time to be informative, that article in the Telegraph is scary. I don't believe there are many people who are truly as secure as they believe themselves to be when they look down on the homeless as thought they themselves were a breed apart. I am an atheist but this analogy is the closet that comes to mind to put my belief succinctly: There but for the grace of God go I.
Thanks Arnold

All the major cities in the UK have homeless people. No person in the 21st century should have to live on the streets. I've seen a TV documentary showing one family living in a car in the UK, so I dare say there are other families who do also.

It's scary to think that people like this guy can end up on the street...

Which evil people thought it'd be a good idea to have a country full of low paid workers, bombard them with adverts tempting them to buy stuff they don't need, then bombard them with adverts for credit so that they can buy the stuff they don't need but end up having to work harder and harder in order to pay off their spiralling debts, and in so doing make more and more money for the greedy capitalists?

That'll be Reagan and Thatcher then. What a mess they've left behind.
