For the last couple of weeks a smartly dressed woman has been approaching people on the road outside the depot saying she has moslaid her purse and could she borrow money to buy a ticket home.
She has done this off and on for a couple of years now but has been particularly active over the last fortnight - she has asked me three times!
She isn't genuine, it's a con, if she asks you please do enquire of her why she seems to lose her purse every day.
Actually next time I will say Yes, come with me to the cashpoint at the top of Station Street, walk her all the way up there then say, well that's stopped you asking a few more people. I'll try and get a photo of her.

Hi, She used to do this up by the Black Horse but asking for money for petrol as her car had broken down. She actually came in to my office to ask. I refused as something didn't feel right. She then asked me 2 days later! I then interrupted her when she was asking another man & threatened her with the police and she became really affronted.
