    I have noticed an increase in the numbers of 'charity muggers' in the streets around work.

    Have you ever been a Chugger? Ever been a Chugee and given over your details after being stopped in the street.

    I am a polite sort of chap so courteously decline to stop and talk about mental illness, child poverty, and donkeys etc but others must or else the charities wouldn't bother.

    Charity begins at home and once I've finished knocking one out on her I'll have a tug over Faith and Hope next.

    I did it for a week during university summer holiday, managed to earn the princely sum of £20 in commission, bastards never paid me either.

    That's not very charitable.

    Guy stopped me and asked if I had a minute for cancer research

    I said "no wonder we haven't found a cure, if we only research for a minute ".
