£1 to castlemilk

Goodness knows how many times I've walked through town and someone stops me and asks for £1. It's always £1 and 9/10 times it's always to castlemillk. What makes it worse is when there's a pathetic sob story attached to it.

I was asked recently at a cash machine (surprise surprise) for 50p because "I've been thrown out, I've got no-where to go, I got no job".

No offence but I really don't like it when certain leech/scroungers do this.

Anyone else had this problem.

i never give money to begger's as i know enough of them to know what the money is really being spent on and i dont want to be responsible for perpetuating such dastardly degredation....i know what it's like to be jobless,homeless but im certainly not gormless

"I miss read it,

My main gripe was/is sob stories behind the reason for such a petty amount. You know, when they give you a guilt trip, like "I've been chucked out the house". "I ain't got a job"(well get off your lazy arse and find one). But it seems to happen when your near a bank/cash machine. And they always harass you for money and the excuses get more & more lame.

I delight in giving the ones with the 'cold homeless and hungry' written on a bit of old cardboard box, a cup of soup and a sarnie from the nearest takeaway bakers shop. very rarely give anything to a beggar, except advise... get a job!

Yea, but where's that £1 off to? too many going?:

Super lager

Buckfast

Smack

Whacky backy

I remember a story from years ago when one of my gran's was asked for £1, she went and bought him a sausage roll from greggs (thinking he was hungry) he didn't want it, he wanted £1 instead (probably for one of the above). My gran ate the sausage roll. True story.

I swear I'd hate to go around scrounging off people. Get yourself busking/talent, earn that £/p

ask people for 20p etc, then ask more people for 20p..in an hr they may make a fiver, which is then used for something else...not fucking bus fare lol

Good on you! That's what us scots should be like. I do to care what they spend their pound on.. It gives them a release from their anxieties. Who am I to judge - who knows what experiences they have had and use alcohol or drugs to block them out.

There are a couple I'll buy a bag of chips ot a sarnie for. Never cash.

That said I did give an old guy £2 once when he said he'd spent his last and was 49p short for a can of special brew. Only gave him it for his honesty
