Has anyone who has seen this reported it?

When I was walking around Manchester the other week, I noticed a filthy old tramp sitting in a bus shelter holding a coffee cup. Felt really sorry for him and, on impulse, I chucked a pound coin into his cup. This was followed by a loud "plop" and I suddenly realised it was a half-full cup of coffee. The withering look of contempt he gave me said it all, really. Another Mr Bean moment, as Mrs H would say!

I was at a well to do cafe/bar in downtown palermo, sicily. A guy came upto me and my wife and asked me for ten euros, not one or two but ten. I said No thanks, politely and firmly. He then said to me that he was desperate, I replied that I was as well! He then walked away to the next table!

I know it's very fashionable to believe that everyone who begs for money is a scrounger and out to con you, but I can't help thinking, "there but for the grace of God could be any of us".

No he wasnt dining, but he didnt look like a beggar if you know what i mean. ( i had been asked for money 6 times during the day and they looked like they needed the money.)

Sorry, but I don't know what you mean. Did he not doff his cap to you and call you guvnor? What do destitute people look like? I assume you were on holiday and he was begging for money? I know which I'd rather be doing.

I'm not really having a personal go at you Green Lantern, but some of the things that people post on threads like this........... well, they leave me speechless.
