I am going to ring up in the morning, the store was closing when it happened. So as an extra measure I will ring up and report it.

same thing happened to me ( but in Ossy ) woman asked me for a fiver... I told her sorry I could not help, when I got home I found my purse had gone...

this was last year: next time anyone asks me for money I will tell them to something off:

If you're ever visiting Blackburn in the car and park on the car parks there look out for this scam. A lad (in his twenties at a guess) approached me and asked if I could spare " a couple of quid" so he could buy some petrol for his car which had supposedly run dry !! After politely declining his request by saying I couldn't help him, I sat in the car for about half an hour (whilst waiting for my mother to return) and watched the guy succesfully obtain cash from five different people.

Imagine my surprise when a couple of days later,when parked on the same rooftop car park the same guy approached me again,recognised me from our earlier encounter then obviously thought better of asking me.Now he's either a complete fool who's always running out of petrol in the same places or..........just another scamming beggar.I'll let you all draw your own conclusions!!!:D

I’ve declined from posting in this thread, as for me it’s fairly emotive. I would however like to add this. I know there are folk who just “try it on” just another way of making a fast buck., we’ve all probably been conned at some point or other by such scoundrels.

However, not all who beg can be classified as “scum”

Some beg because of an illness, addiction. Be it drugs, alcohol…whatever. When the money tap at home gets turned off they will do as they need to feed the addiction.

I’m not saying give these people money, just asking you to spare a thought, they may well have a loving family behind them, attempting to support them whilst attempting to keep the rest of the family together.

Scum isn’t applicable across the board.

I usually pull my large roll of 50s out take the rubber bands off, and give it to the cheeky beggar to attach the sole of his shoe to the upper.:D

Bonnyboy I too have had experience of drugs very close to home (not saying you were referring to drugs) and hope and pray that having to beg didn't come into the equation. I just found the experience a little disconcerting to say the least. Hope you don't think badly of any of us we may only see the world through our eyes at times.

Begging never used to be a problem ------ until children were taught it was acceptable------- by the introduction of 'trick or treat'

Luckily the "drug demon" has not been at my door. The begging bit has been, although I did not become aware of it 'til some time after the event. I honestly can see how such events as you initially described can be disconcerting. Have a word with Asda, I would :)
