"I don't know if you can help me?" She's pretty, well dressed, nicely spoken, mid 20's. Of course I can.

She has a handful of change  in her hand. She shows me

"Do you have change?" she asks.

I dig in my pocket, pull out a similar handful, "They're no help in the station" she tells me. My boyfriend's gone back to Lancaster without me, do you have £1.60"

Of course I have, I've got it in my hand, havent I? Handing it over,

"You haven't got another 80p, have you?

Ad infinitum.
