Was in Liverpool last year, and came out the Hotel.

The big white thing pretty near to the station, anyway guy walks up and sais "Scuse me mate, I've locked my wallet in my car, is there any chance you could give me £3 so i can get home to get the spare set?"

Said no.


Another one, I was at a Hibs V Motherwell game in Edinburgh, was pretty close to Christmas. Was strange, as every person who went into the ground was given a free dairy milk. Some sort of Sponsorship deal.

Anyway, late on that night, a random guy came up and said "Excuse me mate, any spare change so I can get something to eat?"

I said "Sorry mate, no change, just notes. But have this Dairy Milk"

Guy walked away looking gutted.

i thought you were going to ask us if it was morallying wrong to divulge confidential information about clients to the general public for personal gain in a debate.

i like the one on the trains out of waterloo who resorts to begging as the big issue office was closed that day. shame it seems to be closed every day, and only closed to them as there's plenty of sellers around, must be tough on them.

this man asked me for £1 to help him get the bus to a hospital as his brother is ill. his brother must be pretty ill as i've given money to him a few times and seen other people give him some coins too. some people just susceptible to illness it seems

gave a "deaf" guy £2 so he could use a "special" phone once. tbf he laid on the works with the way he spoke, so it was worth it imo

since then ive seen him try it many times around town

most of them make funny gestures and/or noises while giving up aswell. at least in brussels they do.

once i was in a restaurant with my friends and a guy came up to our table and asked for money, his reason being he was just released from prison that day and needed some cash

"Wow mate - you won't believe this, but my wife's there too. Mind if I come with you?"

There's a guy on the Northern line who plays guitar and sings. He doesn't ask for money, but will accept it if you offer.

He's actually very good, but plays the same song over and over again.
