Standing at the bar was a guy who regularly begs outside the bus station. Now, if he can afford to spend £3.50+ on a pint, and feed the jukebox the way he was (Robbie Williams in case your interested), then either (a) the begging is paying well, or (b) he's a lying chancing scumbag who deserves to get a karmic kicking (as opposed to a physical one).
I'm not for one minute suggesting that all beggars are at it, far from it, but it's gits like this that make the general populace think they're all at it.
I'll stick to my usual tried and trusted routine of giving a Big Issue seller the occasional £1, and refusing to take a magazine. (In fact, it's that long since I've bought a BI that I'm not sure what the current price is).
