The line is usually "I'm your neighbour" and I need money for the electricity meter.
Or - my husband has had a heart attack and I need money for a taxi to get to the hospital.
One positive thing is that on all occasions the cheeky buggers have been good "honest" English citizens.
God knows what would happen if the immigrants round here gave up their jobs and started to do it.
I got done by a women in the Albert. She used the line of "my husband has been arrested and I need to get to Haywards Heath, can you give me some more for the train fair" and like a mug me and a couple of my mates did. She was dressed well and didn't look like a beggar, but when we walked up the road about an hour later she was sitting there counting out her money.
F*cking scum bag, give decent honest people who actually need help no chance.
