I would probably just have the £400 back and see if he tries again to use you as a bank.

Me too!
All sounds a bit shady to me.
Fink he's trying to make you feel sort of obliged to him so you'll deffo give him work even if he turns out to be a bit sh!t.

Ask him if he'll do a day's graft for you if you take the 400.

I was thinking that too.

I've lost considerably more to impecunious friends over the years than I ever have to burglars. Maybe they'll give it you back the first few times so as to establish a relationship, then they'll scarper with it. If there's any chance of getting any of the money back, you might as well take it. To most people out there, money is much more important than friendship, and they'd much rather lose a friend than cough up.

Yer true I know what your saying about cash being no1 on the list, id rather have friends but a recent
experience has showed me how other people think differently. Its not nice being stuck for cash either.
I wont be doing it again plus ive got a funny feeling he will ask again.

I wouldn't be surprised he is trying to "groom" you.
Borrow dosh, pay it back with interest quickly
Make you have confidence in him.
Borrow more, i.e. bigger sum.
Pay it back, you are even more confident in him.
Borrow much more.

Then he fecks off over the horizon.
Nah, don't play the game!

Yes, the mistake I've made over the years is to place friendship and loyalty ahead of personal gain. I'm afraid I took that sort of thing rather literally.

These days if anyone asks, I say I haven't got any money because everything's so expensive these days, I still don't know how I'm going to pay the gas bill etc. Seems to work!

In my case it's not a ruse.
Steal my credit identity?
Ha!! You can have it.

Poverty has a few benefits.

A few years ago when people started talking about 'identity theft' I got some cards printed in the style of the UK's organ donor cards, saying 'Identity donor card'. I quite liked the idea of some old lag having a fresh start if I were to get run over in the street. Several of my friends started carrying them too.

Right then heres one for you.....
A chap I know, not a mate but ive known him for years.
He asked me for some work & I said ive got a few wee jobs I can put you on to in the
coming weeks. Fair enough id give him a shout, then the next day he comes and asks
for a loan of cash (400 sovs) he said hed give me a monkey back so I thought ok then.
He's been up to see me today says he'll have the money tomorrow.
Now do I take the 500 cause I kinda feel bad cause he's skint or do I just take the cash &
say cheers. It must have been quite hard to come & ask me in the first place.
What would yous do.....
Takey or no Takey

So, what are we talking here..
A marmoset or a capuchin?

Yeees, I know that int neever, but a Mandrill would be takin the peas..
