Never kick a man when he's down.
A few years back my Wife and I were camping down at sunny Eastbourne. We went into the city center for a few odds and ends. Well, some blokes don't like shopping with the missus because it takes ages, I happen to be one of theres blokes so................there was I waiting outside the shopping mall with my dog. Ok Dogs are not allowed in GR8!
Waiting outside and sitting on a ledge smoking a roll up and having just got out of the tent and wearing my favorite worn out jeans with my long un-combed hair ppl started throwing money at me!!!!! At first I didn't realise. Perhaps someone had dropped 10p by mistake? After 20 mins of sitting there waiting for the missus I'd now had a collection of coins at my feet!!!! Every time someone threw me a coin I tried to explain that I'm waiting for my Wife to come out of the shop but it was too late they had gone.
Eventually the Missus came out of the shops. I thought to myself do I take the money or leave it there? Sod it. I took the money. In retrospec I should have given it to charidy but I was laughing too much.
I made just over 50p!!!
In fact there is a reason I write this. I was offered a beer by tramp tonight outside my local offey. I'd bought him a can earlier in the week. Nice bloke prob just down on his luck.
