A polite thankyou
To the tramps, homeless and drop-outs of Wakefield. Even when I have no cash on me, you're all to a man gracious and courteous, even when the only thing I can spare is a couple of cigarettes.

Which is far better than I can say for one girl in Sheffield, who once asked a friend of mine for 20p in Doncaster, Barnsley and Sheffield, all on the same day. Gemma I think her name is, and her hair colour is forever changing. If she can afford to change her hair colour, then she should be able to sort the rest out, right?

Apparently this isn't a reasonable argument and is met by a very creative (if slurred) tirade of swearing.

Although one day, said friend had had enough of Gemma. Stevan's an interesting bloke- very bright, but dresses like a hobo. Which he used to his advantage one evening when he decided (as a joke) to ask her for 20p. Apparently the look of confusion had to be seen to be believed.
