I was approached by the same guy last night around the same time and had a similar experience. He also, as mentioned before, said he'd happily wait for me to get some cash out after I told him I didn't have any. His original spiel was very polite but he also added that he was sleeping rough with a partner who was seven and a half months pregnant. Whilst my knowledge of the homeless process is sketchy at best, this last point rang alarm bells given councils provide emergency housing for people in serious need (how well this is advertised is a different debate). Anyway, didn't give him any money and he walked off cursing and swinging at random inanimate objects. Would be interested to hear what responses you get, VintageSlumber.
