    doing my head in now not only do they randomly ring u now they are fecking begging in alhambra, on the street outside shops etc etc

    its christmas and theres a recession so why are they still out begging!

    i walked past more people collecting yesterday than shops!....charitie starts at home and if people looked after there own before doing "good" then they might not be in such a mess.

    i got a call from a deaf charitie other day and they started by asking if i had any family members with earing probelms which i told them i did (2 0f actually)

    so he then went for it bigtime (ok then so you know how important if is to donate to us if i start the donation at £15 a month and you can increase it from there)

    FFS i went nuts and told him to screw himself....chances!

    That's how they train em

    London is a fcuker for the charity street beggers, you literally cannot move for them. I know charities do important work, but to have to say "No thanks" to 14 charity workers asking for money just whilst going for a sandwich, it takes the piss.

    Barnardos are the worst around here. You get three or four trying to stop you in the town centre bus station, on what is only like an 100 metre walk. They try and make you inclined to help them with cash.
