Beggers every where plus there dogs

[stevewool]

Every street you go down where there is tourist you will see the beggers.
Some are on all fours arms out stretched with a cap in both hands.
Then there are the ones with a dog.
The other day i was watching a group of them swapping dogs and going to different places, but as soon as the police come round they are up and gone like a bullet.
The worst things i have seen is people going through the bins for food and taking it away .
That did surprise me.

I wonder where these beggers are from, are they local, and do they think having a dog gets them more money.
Well when listening to other folk it was mostly mentioned," did you see that dog" not the person sitting next to it.
It's a funny old world.

Lucrative business. They can earn over £100 a day. If you do an Internet search on the topic you will see many articles. Here is one local chap I see all the time:

At least he plays an instrument and makes an effort compared to those who just sit there. I don't mind giving buskers a quid for entertaining me and brightening the streets.
