So today was eventful, Walking back along rose street after work I spotted a beggar outside Sainsburys so I walked up to him and got the usual "any spare change mate" to which I replied, "Sorry I only carry plastic, do you want anything from the shop?", he asked for a friji milkshake so I went in and bought him a couple of milkshakes and a big bunch of bananas and a massive bag of salt and vinegar kettle chips. When I came out with the carrierbag and gave him the lot he was really pleased and thanked me a few times as I left on my way. I passed another beggar just up from Planet out and stopped and chatted to him for a while and gave him some ciggies. Next off with a fiver I had in my pocket I bought 5 scratch cards and handed them out to the first 5 people I saw, the woman who served me, a older lady with a hat, a girl with her son a couple walking up leith walk and a chap walking up the road with a frown on his face., Everyone is so shocked by random acts its funny. Have they never heard the saying 'Never look a gifthorse in the mouth'
Roll on Tuesday.
Hey RJ,
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting concept and I'd love to promote it in the Edinburgh Evening News. Can you give me a bell on 0131 620 8763 so we can have a chat?
Best wishes,
