How low must you be to beg people for a few pence around around a train station, hate fake beggers who are doing it as a con ! I genuinly feel sorry for those who are homeless through no fault of their own or just need a little help but for thos who do it as a con disgusting, any body else see this ? Was around the 2.15 mark outside central ?

Ask me every day for money so he can get himself into a hostel for the night, I gave him money first few times but he's taking the piss now as its been going on for month. In my eyes he's nothing more than a pest.
The final straw was when I was giving him 20 pence, he saw that I had a twenty quid in my wallet and asked if he could have one of them instead of the 20p, I closed my wallet and walked away and he had the cheek to beg for the 20 pence then. No time for those who refuse to help themselves.
