  • Whenever this happens to me, even when I have a ciggy lit - I always say - "Sorry, I don't smoke" and walk off ;)

  • The beggers in London are cheeky sods. I was sitting outside a restaurant on the Southbank on a summers evening when a tramp came up asking for a spare ciggy, I said no, then he asked for spare change, I said no. The cheeky sod then said well you can afford that *pointing at my bottle of wine and nachos*.

    I turned around and said listen mate, I cant afford it either, this is all on a credit card. He then muttered some swear words and asked the next table, who also said no. He is probably WAY richer than me. !!!!!.
  • You could always make a box-sized card saying "50p please" (or whatever the relevant price is) always leave the bottom cellophane on and slip it in, they you don't have to speak to them or even look them in the eye, just hold up the box :)

  • If someone asks if you have a spare cig, you could always reply..

    "now let's see. I have 9 cigs here and guess what, none of them are spare. They are all for me. Now f*ck off and buy your own"

    It would be worth getting smack in the gob just to get that off your chest I think.
