Man who planned to walk from Uk to India....?

Question

...to raise awareness of his idea of a Freeconomy - a world without money.

He planned to walk from the UK to India with no money, but to rely on the kindness of strangers for food and lodgings.

How far did he get in his travels????

He go to Calais, the first stop after leaving the UK because he couldn't speak French!!!!!

"That really scared us and given that we now were pretty much out of food, hadn't slept in days and were really cold, we had to reassess the whole situation."

Isn't this the most pathetic thing you've heard of????

Do you think he should ow re-assess that his idea of a Freeconomy is a joke!!

Honestly, I bet Scott and Hillary are turning n their graves if this is what modern adventurers have now become!!

Answer 1

It was my first laugh of the day today when I heard it on Radio 4.  I really chuckled to myself.  The world is full of 'nutters'.  They set off trying to convince us how incredibly independent they are and then rely on everyone else to support them.

Answer 2

They got noticed so at least it wasn`t to bad.

Answer 3

I couldn't believe this, talk about your lack of foresight and planning! Did he think the entire world spoke English, or that he could get by, just by shouting at Johnny Foreigner loudly and slowly? Has he never been abroad before?

Answer 4

i don't understand

Answer 5

Well, it makes a change from people on here moaning about taxes, teenagers and the weather.
