Yeah, I know it's bad but I do have a 'can't feed the world' attitude. I give money once a month to a random charity but it's never the same charity. I'll put money in a collection tin or donate online. Like Milly said though, I'm a bit against giving money to beggars because you can't guarantee it will be used correctly.

Asides from this though credit to your generosity. Not many people would show the same approach and that shows a lot on your character.

That is a great idea for the future when chavs outside a shop ask you to get their booze in. :)

Then the rape can commence... but should be committed before the laxatives kick in!

Doubt very much if he bought Coffee with that Chief. It would be different if you bought him the coffee then gave it to him. That would of been diferent :ayatollah:

I very often give money to beggers, a quid here and there makes no difference to me at all, but if it makes a slight difference to help someone else less fortunate then why not. Mind you, one Christmas a few years back, I gave £5 to a young begger I took pity on and his mobile phone went off in his jacket as I was handing it over.

Like Milly, I don't give to beggars because they more than likely are after booze rather than a hot drink or food, but I do occasionally buy a Big Issue. Although I did give a couple of times in Bangkok recently, as it broke my heart to see people begging with their young children (toddlers}on the pavement around the shopping areas. :(

Remember some of these people have mental problems and should be in hospitals but because labour decided to throw these people out of menal hospitals and into hostels :evil:
