'S'cuse me mate, you got 50p for the night shelter?'

Alex-in-Ciderland [Edit] [Delete] 21:02, 4 February '08

I was approached on no less than 7 occasions in various parts of central Bournemouth today by people who asked me that question.

One of them actually asked me about 30 minutes after her previous attempt which means that either:

A) She was off her tits on crackjuice or coketrips
B) I have a generic face
C) A) and B)

I'm happy to say that this sort of panhandling if now an equal opportunities occupation in Bournemouth, 2 of the 6 individuals were women and only 3 of them were Scottish.

Have you had any interactions with street people today?
