Default Not Another Beggars thread
okay, this is kind of old news, but it's new to me, so it might have slipped past some people too...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/2352671.stm

begging on the street is illegal in england (apparently?)

there are some disturbing facts about what beggars really "do", which of course sometimes rings true (was asked for £1 by a drunk beggar - eh, who you think you are kidding?)

yeah, anyway. interesting.

a beggar once asked my friends and I if we had a spare 50 grand to give him. we didn't but we did find a few quid to reward him for giving us a laugh.

I've got a feeling it probably said Lager.

I gave a homeless guy a pound or so the other week and he then asked if I minded him coming across to Drummonds in a minute to have a pint with me and my friends! He never came over though...
