and forget those who are not as kind to us!

People who have genuinely appeared to be short changed whilst paying for something, yes I have helped, be it on the bus, in the queue to purchase a train ticket, at the supermarket or in a cafe. But if a complete stranger approached me in the street and asked me for money for bus fare or for a drink or food then no, I do not give. If it's a genuine need then I will go and purchase the item for them but very rarely do they accept, they just make their excuses and go on their way approaching others asking for money.

You have very attractive coins also. I used to love those big pennies you people had. When I lived there I had a bunch of those as well as half pennies, six pence, threepence, shillings.
Did I get those right?
