Does anyone actually give money to these anymore? Apart from the ones who literally stood in our path while we were carrying in the shopping last night until I told them to move, ( would have been more verbal if they didn't have a young child with them) we just had a couple of teens ( around 13/14 yrs old I guess) banging on the door. I wasn't going to answer until one of them started peering in the sitting room window, before I even had the door fully open and before any singing started he was holding out a box for me to pay him.
I don't mind groups of good singers round the shopping areas as they do add to the atmosphere and there's no pressure to give them money but out of tune teenagers or small children being dragged round by adults is just a no-no for me.
Or am I just a miserable bugger as I have been called in the past?
