definately. im sick of the "every man for himself" attitude. People should help eachother and create good karma, then it would become infectious and spread. capitalism gets on my ****!

Yes, but Id wonder if they had asked eg, 50 people for £1 and therfore never pay their own bills. The person concerned is probably loaded whilst the likes of me who'd give the £1 are struggling top pay our own bills but would not have the nerve to ask a stranger

Yes and have done so many times in the past. Not always a £1, sometimes only a few pence that someone is short, or are struggling to find. Most people would try to decline the offer due to a sense of pride / embarrassment, but a smile always helps and adding that your hoping that by giving, the favour may be returned one day when you find yourself in the same position.

Yes, why not. Sometimes I throw in an extra £1 coin at Dartford Crossing the help the stranger driving behind me.

A part of me would love to say yes but in reality if someone asked me I would probably think it was some form of con and think that they were better off than me in the first place!!! I have helped people out when they realise they don't have enough to pay for their shopping before but that was my decision and I was not asked so it doesn't really answer the question! lol

If they're a stranger, how do I know they're not just going to use the money for drugs or alcohol? They could be lying. Plus I'm a student, so can't afford it!

I have often given a bit of change to people at tills who are a bit short. Don't know if i would give it to some one to help pay off debts they have racked up. What goes around comes around.

IF, taking £1 out of your pocket wouldn't hurt.
IF, donating that £1 wouldn't change your lifestyle.
&
IF, just by spending £1, you are able to put a smile on someone's face.
IF, £1 is all you need to put someone's troubles & worries away.
Then, i believe, that £1 would be one of the best kind of money spent in a person's life.

Absolutely not.... Bills are chosen.... IF they choose to have bills then they need to choose to get another job or perhaps 4 jobs to pay for them.
Nothing gained if you have everything handed to you.

Yes if he approach me and tell me that he is in trouble and for some reason he needs to pay his bills.

what? every stranger, every bill?
I'd give a quid to help out someone short for bus fare or in a shopping que.
Nobody helps me
