I peed in the alley in Edinburgh where Renton is running away from the shop owner! Sadly the majority of that film was actually fimed in Glasgow, not Edinburgh and Leith as it claimed to.

Ron, I can see how that film could convince people of the evils of drug use. Not a glamorous film in the least. I must say, I still like the film makers previous film Shallow Grave (also with Ewan MacGregor).

I don't think the begging Utilikilt was a habit (maybe a kilt or tattoo addiction, in which case I would have told him to piss off, as I need my own fix)but rather a lazy way to get money. My wife has seen the same guy get his sign and backpack out of his car (not exactly a beater)first thing in the morning.
