Homeless experiment

I just wrote a blog post that being homeless is not cool: http://www.iamthespecialist.com/2015/11/being-homeless-is-not-cool-especially.html

(especially in Winter when it is cold)

There was a movie with Eddie Murphy: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086465/

= Experiment Design =
 * no asking friends (I don't have any friends anyway)
 * completely new city (I know my way around London)

Option 1

 * no ID
 * no bank account
 * no proof of address

That makes it difficult when applying to jobs / receiving any money. Initial efforts would probably be dedicated for sorting that out. They have my data on the system already - that shouldn't be that difficult to obtain - it would just take some time.

Option 2

 * no money
 * no phone
 * no computer

I will have my ID and bank account with £0. That will save a month of waiting for paperwork (governments and banks are slow to process requests).

Can I go into the overdraft? That would be too easy, so let's make it difficult - allow me be £3000 in debt - penalty interest ticking and no option to withdraw any money.

Other options
I cannot unlearn what I know about computers. But maybe I can don't use them at all? No computer, no phone, no maps, no email... Finally that makes it difficult. That would be tough, that would be interesting!
