How much

Money have you lent to other "players" who beg and bag until you lend them say £200 for 3days only to never see the money again?

Why would you lend money to any player? Everyone should have enough money to not have to worry about borrowing.

And I'm assuming in most cases it's local players - for me this should be even less of an incentive to lend...not lending would help to get them out of the game and leave more stuff for you!

I can just see the scenario now. Local player begs for a float, you give it to him and then he does your route. Lovely!

I remember lending a 'playing friend' £250 to prevent him from being turfed out of his flat... ...Instead, he turfed himself out of the country. Ok, it was only small potatos, but never saw that money again.

You are spot on mate.

Sadly there are lots of bastards that would gleefully watch others struggle while counting their coins. Not just other players either.

People who put money before friends (proper friends I mean), do so because they have no friends. Or they won't if they carry on with that attitude anyhow.

Its worse when a mate borrows £500 off you when hes just put a grand in a cashino and you dont want anyone to win it, but you dont want your mate to put more in!

True friends always pay you back even if it takes a while,if any of my friends was in trouble and all i had was say 200 i would rather lend them it and stay in for a while, wouldnt happen though just an example.........

Spot on, I had a mate owe me over £200 for nearly 2 years, situation were he'd pay a bit back 1 week but have it back the next.
Ended up 1 day going up town and he bought me a SIlver PS2 plus other stuff on his credit card, better than him drawing cash and it was stuff I was planning on buying anyway.
