I initially thought it was about people downing pints in one in pubs. You cant ban them. Thats one of my favourite pastimes that is and the source of many a cheap night in one of the local hostelries.

Charity collectors, nah they are great fun, if you have the time ask them for their identity cards, scrutinise it for a minute or so, then ask for their licence, most councils require one, then ask them about the charity itself, what it does, who are its patrons, does it mostly do UK based work or only overseas.

Engage them in a good discussion about charity works etc for at least ten minutes, if you can spare the time, then slowly go through each of your pockets except the one that you have your cash/wallet in, shrug, give a pleasant smile and say "sorry no change" and walk off proud in the knowledge that you stopped them annoying other people.
