Exactly. They used to drive me mad when I worked in central Brighton. At one point there were about 15 of them from NSPCC dotted along North Street. I actually emailed the council, and they said they have no real power over how many of them are allowed or where they can stand. If they are collecting cash they have to follow strict rules, but not if they're just taking your details to extract 2 quid a month out for the rest of your life.

On the other hand, you could look on them as young people who cannot find any other job and would rather do this than sign on the dole.
Perhaps it's the practice of chugging itself which should be condemned, rather than the chuggers themselves.

Duplicate post (website playing silly buggers).
I think many people think that social justice warriors borrow issues from other sufferers who don't necessarily deem their issue as having legitimate status to be brought to a stage that the issue may not warrant.

Could be wrong, but (Big Brother Pete aside) I'd say most Brighton chuggers are university or college students who have spare time in the week to hit the pavements.
This list is god awful long!!!!
I read that Hawaii has the same law going into effect in October. You may talk on the mobile but you can't look down at it while not paying attention to the automobile traffic or other foot traffic.

Fair point, well made.
I meant yer Koppaberg strawberry, lime and sugar fruit punch type of effort. Nothing wrong with a well made farm scrumpy.

I was walking through a twitten when around a bend came a lady on a bike with her dog on a lead... I was nearly tripped up.... the lady shat herself and yanked the dog towards her and nearly crashed in to the bushes.... needless to say the entrances to the twitten are clearly marked with No Cycling signs which are ignored by 90% of cyclists.

I'm with you on this "can I get" business. Usually only used by London/SE visitors to the pub fortunately.People with a far greater knowledge and appreciation of the English language than I have have interpreted it that way too.
You go with the arbitrary changing of the meaning of words when context isn't applied, I'll go with the experts.
I never say anything, I just smile as usual, but it does rankle.

Arty reports about "organic cafes" run by Hipsters who charge £30 for a cup of gnats piss. Made worse when reports include the fact that David Beckham once went in there.
