    Are you sleeping in a doorway? :D

    Seriously though, how did the conversation go? Did they come looking for you specifically?

    unless its some promotion for a company or other stay well away from them,ask for id and who they are selling for or giving for free for. sounds very dodgy and maybe the gardai should be informed,they might be casing the area for burglers etc.

    Confidence trick, I would imagine. Used to be some guy standing in traffic on the main street of Maynooth handing air freshners in the window then coming back and asking for money.

    I had the driving sun glasses guy in castletroy, Didn't give him a chance to tell me they were free. They looked more like glasses for welding.
