As I Was Waiting...
32 Answers
...for a taxi returning home from shopping this evening I was approached by a man who seemed to be in his late 30s who said he was homeless and could I spare any change. As the only change I had was my taxi fare I demurred. He then thanked me anyway very politely and wished me a good evening. As he left I suddenly realised I had a spare tenner in my pocket which I could easily have afforded to give him. I now feel very guilty. Should I?

This happened half a mile from me, which is why I am concerned.

A while back I was in Cambridge just about to go into a cafe for a cup of coffee. As I got to the door a well dressed politely spoken young woman,stopped me and said she had her purse stolen and needed the money to get home and asked if I could spare a £. I gave her £5 and she thanked me very nicely. While I was in the cafe she was still outside, I saw her approach at least 10 people all of whom gave her money. I mentioned her to the staff of the cafe and one girl told me she was well known for doing it and they thought she made at least £100 a day! They got tired of reporting her to the police as they just tell her to move on and she is back within hours.
