Sorry, you'll have to help me a bit with the logic (if any) behind Mrs Whitty's warning (Opinion, March 2).

She says that a woman begging in the street was obviously a fraud because, having told someone she needed £25 for a bed and breakfast place, she was still begging after being given £5 towards it.

Er... how else was she supposed to get the remaining £20 then?
