Would you beg. ?

Couple of stories in the media lately got me thinking. If you lost everything and were forced to live on the streets. Would you beg to stay alive.?

Re: Would you beg. ?

I'll let you know when the time comes. I don't know right now.

Re: Would you beg. ?

Trick is, not to lose everything in the first place....always have a plan 'B'.

Re: Would you beg. ?

Having seen how well the beggars here do, yes I think I probably would.
I´m amazed at the number of people I see giving money to the beggars who sit outside the supermarkets and the many people who give them the coin, either 50 cents or 1 euro from the trolley, they can make E100 and probably much more each day.

Re: Would you beg. ?

I'd probably rather beg than steal.

Why? Things aren't that bad are they Nom? You know we'd never let you starve.

Re: Would you beg. ?

Let's turn this around.....If you, Nom, saw me in the street begging, would you cross to the other side?

Re: Would you beg. ?

Well I wouldn't, Plopsy dear. I'd take you home and make you all better.

Re: Would you beg. ?

As ten year old kids we used to stand outside public conveniences and 'beg' a penny from passing strangers, who always coughed up when they witnessed our crossed legs routine.
When we had conned enough pennies we would go to the cinema and spend em !

I see Mupsy. Does that mean the wedding with Nom is off?

Re: Would you beg. ?

That wouldn't have worked where I grew up. We used to piddle for free.
