Oh, and another thing thatmy mate Frank did. We were walking down Gloucester Road in Bristol and popped into Somerfield to get a sandwich. I got served first and waited outside for Frank. He came out clutching awkwardly at his sandwich, receipt and change, which he was trying to put back into his wallet. A couple of paces further on, a homeless guy asked us if we could spare any change and Frank said "No, Sorry" in a loud and friendly manner. Two steps later, his wallet burst open causing the most enormous sparkling shower of loose change to fly everywhere, all over the pavement in front of the homeless bloke. We picked up the staggeringly large amount of change which he'd spilt right under the poor guy's nose. To be fair to Frank, he did give the guy some change, and told him "God's obviously punishing me for something"
