I was walking to work one time early in the morning, and a 'traveller' pulled into the side of the road, pressed the button on the electric window thingy for the passenger side, leaned over and said, "Hey mister give us a pound so I can get my child some breakfast cereal", It was said as if she was desperate, my reply was, "I have just got up to go to work, I have exactly one pound on me for my lunch and you want me to give it to you for this child that is sat next to you with chocolate smears all around his mouth?" My next set of words cannot be repeated on a family site, though the child seemed to recognise every one of them.
