Last night on a rare night on the town, near the amusement arcade, I saw a couple of blokes one of them took his cap off, popped a quid in it and put it on the floor, before he sat down to join it, the other one went off presumably to do the same further up the town! I do feel for some of these people who are on our streets and I do give change out during the day, but it is difficult to see who is in genuine need sometimes, when you see things like this going on.
I saw a couple of blokes ( probably the same ones) in the same place last night tucking into a rather nice looking Chinese takeaway, obviously the pound in the cap accumulated.
I don't usually give beggars change but I do ask them if they are hungry or thirsty and buy them something if they are.
