same here same place.I once offered to buy a brew for a beggar in Manchester. He had asked me for money for a brew....... I was told to ****off.
lol..... I wonder if it was the same fella. I have to admit to being cynical about people who try to scrounge money, especially when they are obviously drunk or spaced out...
When I was mooching around Manchester centre the other week, I saw a filthy old tramp sat in a bus shelter holding out a coffee cup. Felt sorry for him and chucked a quid coin in only to hear a loud "plop" as it descended into a half-full cup of coffee. If looks could kill! Should really have bought him a replacement but I was too embarrassed...just muttered "sorry" and melted into the crowd! 
Bet that was so funny, at least your intentions were good onesWhen I was mooching around Manchester centre the other week, I saw a filthy old tramp sat in a bus shelter holding out a coffee cup.

If this girl was as high as Less estimated, then surely she could have floated to Blackburn, always supposing the wind was in the right direction.
I have walked...or I should say, set off walking to blackburn on many Sunday mornings for an early shift...because there were no buses at that time on a Sunday morning......and very good people have stopped and offered me a lift......so i think that maybe her state of inebriation...or whatever you want to call it didn't help her case.....and neither would a stream of profanities.
I would defininitely help a mother and young child.... other than that I don't give money to beggars...but will give food and a hot drink (which I will purchase)....if they do not want this kind of charity from me then they can twist on it.
