Saw a guy give a fiver to a fake beggar the other day.

This is a beggar from somewhere near Romania set up in a Cheshire retail park btw.

Some people are just easily fooled.

They are good people for giving money away to those they think are in need. But it would be better to channel their generosity into somewhere useful.

Rather than it all being pissed away to chancers. And used to build mansions in Romania. Chancers are literally bleeding this country dry.

They do some smashing signwriting, all transcribed onto cardboard: Comma's, full stops the lot.

People who buy items in charity shops and sell them with a big profit on eBay etc are as bad. Not right that.

I'd be surprised if there many people who actually make big profits doing this. Charity shops are savvy nowadays and it's difficult to find something that's actually under the 2nd hand market value.

Lots of it's actually overpriced, anything with a brand marked is now vintage, despite it having obvious wear and tear needing a wash.

If someone has found something of worth it likely means they have earned whatever profit they made by spending significant searching time in order to find the treasure amongst the rubbish. It also drives additional traffic, Charity shops have issues in keeping hold of stock that doesn't sell because it's priced too high.

There are some instances where this is the only way people can afford to bury a loved one who goes unexpectedly. There are two that spring to mind instantly, both of which I donated to.

A blue called Chris Drysdale passed a couple of years ago and it was awful for all involved. I believe a link to that was in this very forum. It made that event that little easier on the family.

Little girl got hit and killed in moston a few years ago by some pissed up **** who ran a red light. Again, that burden was removed from the family by the generosity of the public.

The other end of the scale is someone begging for a new washing machine or something.

Point being, it has its uses.

Puts new idea of a gofund me for a holiday to a brass hotel in Thailand on the back burner.
 
Glad its not just me who gets irrationally annoyed by this.

Everytime some bimbo with stupid lips launches herself into the pool off a balcony and breaks her spine they are in the MEN with a compo face.
