Have you carried out a successful con? Perhaps you hustled a few quid off a stranger, or defrauded a multi-national company. Or have you been taken for the wide-eyed, naive rube that you are?

I don't tell no lies...I'm always being approached by people going "I need 50p for a bus ticket..." and all that. One man who really sticks in my mind came dancing up to us with a garden umbrella. He had no teeth and looked like he'd been sleeping rough. He also had those "smiley" scars people get in prison. If he hadn't had the umbrella and been swirling it around like a parasol, I might have just ran. He looked a bit nasty.
I was impressed. He told us "Me mate 'ere is always saying I tells lies. I don't tell no lies. This is the honest truth. I've been in prison for robbery. I've just got out and I've stolen this umbrella from someone's garden. I don't have any money right now. All I want is a packet of fags and a couple of beers. Can yer spare any change?"
Didn't have very much on us but we did manage to put a couple of quid together.

"I'm no a lyin' bastat, ah jis want some beer".
