I rewarded honesty that day.
The alchoholics in Glasgow used to do that. Apparently they'd twigged folk would give them money 'for honesty'.
In Belfast I once had a Romanian Gypsy pester me for money. I told her i didn't have any and she kept on. Eventually I waved a plastic card and my cheque book at her, "See? No money!"
"I'll take a cheque," she said.
