Street Begging

[bobh]

As horrible as it is, my view is always give to homeless charities and not direct to them.

How young is your daughter? Pretty scary!

I used to work in a bookies while I was in uni. There were around 2-3 ‘homeless’ that would come and change their money from coins to notes. Pretty much never under £100 and always buggered off at the end of the night to some sofa.

The truly destitute are the ones that generally don’t pester. They’re just sleeping on park benches.

When in London, one morning I saw a limo stop by one of the bridges, out came about 6 or 7 women of arab appearance, plus one or two tiny kids/babies each. They then positioned themselves arounf the steps, making it impossible to avoid them, and started begging "for the children".
