Good. Its getting quite ridiculous now.

Was out in Newcastle a few weeks back and had to go between monument mettro station, to haymarket...and my god. I must have been stopped about 10 times in total. Those who live in/have been to newcastle will know the distance is very short.

In the end, I told one of the people who stopped me that I had already donated (it was something for snow leopards...you had to send a text which would cost you a quid) and the cheeky bastard said 'well surely you can spare another £1?' while eyeing up my bags

Yes they are Down Right Rude


Sadly in that area they are still there Tuesdays and Thursdays.

[The collectors, dubbed 'charity muggers'
or 'chuggers' because of their aggressive tactics
have been banned from Burnley, Lancashire, on all other days. ]

They're really annoying. You get some pink haired girl jump out at you pretending to be your best friend or something, then they literally follow you to stop you going. It doesn't help that they're usually hot, but that's why they use them I guess. I just say "no chuggers" staight off now and they get the message. I once made the mistake of giving them my number, and then they ring you and go for the real hard sell. They are awful.

How about you guys having the day off, and the Charity can donate your wages.
