fake Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Burnley's got the right idea. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2104736/Council-bans-chuggers-High-Street-scaring-away-shoppers.html Isn't it time Sheffield did the same? People should not be harassed by these morons as they go about their business in town. Start a SCC on-line petition to ban them in Fargate and the Moor and I will sign it.

GodStar Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Funny how they always set the girlies to approach the blokes.....I wonder if many blokes are daft enough to cough up just because they've been thrilled to be approached by a friendly female. I would offer to sign up only after they had slept with me. That way everyones a winner- me, the charity and the lucky lady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knot-Wright Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I agree they should ban these street muggers. my benefit money is streched enough already and it will be even worse when the virgin HD package goes up a fiver a month. That is two less pints in the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyofborg Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I go into town a lot and never have any problems. I really don't see why you lot seem to have so much trouble with them. A polite smile and shake of the head usually works, sometimes with a brief bit of light banter for the more chatty ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Help! I actually AGREE with an article in the Mail! I hope I don't make a habit of it! Fargate's not as bad as it used to be admittedly, at one time it was awash with Big Issue sellers, Gouranga Monks, and clipboard wielding "Market researchers" but I think following complaints, the Council moved them all on a few years back.

andyofborg Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Charities just aint the same anymore,just money grabbing machines.I despise them all of them? if that's so then you had better not go anywhere in the sea around the uk, as the only assistance which will be available to you will be from the RNLI which is funded totally from charitable donations and has been since it's founding almost 190 years ago.
