Mr Britain

Is it acceptable in Britain,for a well dressed lad to ask women for money?

The said persons having a quiet smoke outside a restaurant, and Mr Lazy Bones approaches and asks politely for money!He was told just as politely NO, and he apologised for interupting and wandered off.!!What is going on in the uk, please tell me? Ding...no religion with that guy i'm sure, a real skivver, scrounging of others.

1. drugs i suppose it's happened to me and it's intimidating, even when they're being polite
2. Was he a Jehova's Witness?
3. Scabs. I give money to muscians, but not wankers like that. I know of this guy who gets around £60-100 a day
4. I dont give any of them money, as i dont want to feel guilty for fuelling thier addiction so instead ill buy them a sandwich or something and a can of coke etc. that way if they really are desperate they'll be chuffed
5. I'm not sure what answer you're looking for, but I don't think that that's acceptable anywhere. I may be wrong, though; there could be religions and/or countries in which this is perfectly acceptable. In general, though, I do not think that this is acceptable in Britain.
6. It's funny you should ask this, when I was in London studying last year I was approached by a well dressed man who looked like he could have worked in the bank district. This fool had the nerve to ask me for a pound! I quickly said "no" and kept walking. I thought it was so weird, normally where I'm from only guys who look like bums ask for money, so I was totally taken aback. I bet he was jonesing for some drugs and was really desperate.
