woodmally   10 #97 Posted November 14, 2013 Just for people to be aware, Thursday evening about 8PM, I was walking down West Street and I was approached by a male asking for change outside Dominos. When I told him no, he got quite aggressive. Granted he waited until I was halfway down the road to shout obscenities. I think it's because I didn't want to hear his sob story and told him I had no change before he'd finished.  Just so people know they're getting aggressive and don't be suckered in by the sob story!  If he is a white male quite lanky then it sounds like Gemmas boyfriend (or pimp). There is also another black 40 year old tall male as well like that who wanders round town whos given me grief before now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

JackK0 Â Â 10 #99 Posted November 15, 2013 I remember I was in town about 5 years ago Just doing abit of shopping I forget which shop the guy was under but he was clearly homeless quite old and he was being really horrible to passers by shouting swearing the whole lot he did it to me as I walked past I felt like turning round and giving some back to him I didnt but there was no need for it I understand they might be frustrated or whatever but people might help them a little if some of them wern't like it and polite and respectful to others. Â I thought If you don't shut up and say the wrong things to the wrong people im sure they will teach you to shut up being rude and abusive to people especially when families are walking past with young kids just wrong. I don't give anything to them when they are like that. If I do donate I have to no where it goes and what on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

lewisty   10 #107 Posted January 13, 2015 Hi, Without sounding too much like an idiot! I was at the cash machine outside sainsburys today on Division St and there was a homeless person begging outside right next to the cash machine. When he asked me if I had any money it was bloody obvious that I had as I'd just drawn some out and he saw me do it! When I got my phone out I checked the time but when I didn't give him any money he said "you can afford to keep an iPhone but can't afford to help the homeless" I didn't respond and walked off, I've noticed this more and more with the homeless and using spots next to cash machines to beg! Is it just me that finds it slightly intimidating? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
John_S6   10 #108 Posted January 13, 2015 They've got a nerve sitting next to the machine and expecting someone to hand over a tenner, minimum.  Should have said "yeah I've got a tenner you can have, do you have my £9.50 change?"
