Asking For Food.
For a few weeks now I've noticed several anonymous posts on Facebook asking if anyone can help out as they are a bit short to buy food to feed the children... also help to feed the cats, help to feed the cats. I've just read someone asking for Doggy treats..
With food banks I'm surprised to see this type of post. People offer suggestions such as local church, local council .. I am beginning to wonder if some of these asks are genuine.
It doesn't end there tho. Others ask for washing machines vacuums..one I saw the anonymous person had just decorated the kitchen.. asking for matching appliances. Microwave,toaster kettle in rose gold!!..specifying the colour.

I'm getting rid of my black appliances in the kitchen so if I saw a local post asking for a black washing machine or fridge I would rather it go to them than the tip. no one in this country is poor, they just spend what the generous benefit system gives them the wrong way. Also hungry children and pets are the entry level for scamming so steer well clear.
