An old lady sat on chair at the entrance of sainsburys today, I thought she was drinking a coffee, but when I got closer she asked for money to put in her cup which was half full of coins, makes you sad we are coming to this :cry:

It is very sad Rocky... :(
Best, if you can, buy food or toiletries and give it to them :?
Our daughter, in the winter bought thermal gloves, and blankets to people begging. It was thrown back at her? :shock:

when i lived in Somerset in the 90s their was a guy who begged near the bank with a sign and dog no food homeless please help, he was caught and arrested getting into his nearly new BMW one day, not saying all are like this but some are how do you separate them? rather put something in the food bank trolley or give to a organisation that feed the street homeless
