Sad times.
London isn't a very helpful place is it?

It depends
I've helped people in London- and I've also been helped by people on occasion mostly with directions etc

Nope.
Trouble is, it's soured me. I'm not averse to helping people get their luggage or prams down stairs or off trains, but normally when someone who seems to know you as "mate" asks if you can do them a "favour" I know damn well they're going to ask me for money. As a result, when some chap asked me the other night whether he could use my phone to call his sister, despite him not looking the sort to do so, I couldn't bring myself to trust him not to run off with it. What kind of cunt has this city turned me into?

I'll say
A suspicious cunt.

a sensible cunt

About a year ago I met a crying, bleeding girl with a massive black eye outside the tube station,
claiming she'd had a fight with her boyfriend and he'd turned abusive and begging train fare home.

She's since tried the same line on me three more times.

I once gave £10 for a taxi
to a man who'd been dumped by his wife, no money, no house, no nothing, so he could go to his mother's for the night.

I've seen him several times on the same corner, telling the same story.

Whilst I was impressed that she was willing to let her boyfriend/pimp/partner-in-crime smack her in the face for her art,
no more money for her.

It was probably make-up
or she really is in an abusive relationship and desperately needs help...

*shrug*
I no longer care either way. THIS IS WHAT LONDON DOES TO YOU.
