Haha, you're so talking about a friend of mine. She's a sweetheart too. And hilarious when drunk.

It's not the nicest of jobs, you know.

It has to be Scrooge for me. Profiting off the poor!

Chuggers are the worst things when you're in a bad mood.

One night I was in a God awful mood and one almost stopped me. One look let him know that if he even tried, I would not-so-kindly show him where he could shove his bucket.

I heard one talking to a friend on the DART once conversation went:

Person: Hey aint seen ya in ages what you up to?
Chugger: You know those people who stop you on the street? I'm one of them ... I hate myself.

It was just after I started noticing the Chugger thing in late 2002. Is that when they suddenly appeared or have they been around longer. I mean proper "I have a clipboard and want your bank details" ones not the "I have a bucket and the afternoon off school cause I'm in fourth year" type.

Also apparently here in London they are actually out of work actors usually moving from charity to charity like the Littlest Hobo but with a lot less heart.

I can relate to that. You, as a "chugger" get manipulated as much as people who you might try to convince to donate. It's not that the charities aren't worthy, but the means are awful.

There are two main out-house companies that I know of, [would insert names but it might not be appropriate]. They're agencies, you could be collecting for x today, and y tomorrow. Other charities do in-house fundraising - which is the best way, in my opinion, as the people employed are hired by the charity directly, and not by a company making it's cut off the top of your wages from money designed to help the charity.

I honestly believe we're suffering from an over-saturation of standing order fundraisers in Dublin. The rest of the country gets the fundraiser treatment on an occasional basis. Day-to-day breeds resentment. I'm glad the charity I used to work for have since stopped it, because it has got to the stage where people hate fundraisers doing their jobs so much that they condemn the charity for it. Desperate strokes for desperate folks though.

There were a few of weaving in and out of lines of traffic stopped at red ligths in the rain this morning - what are we calling them? CHaffics? Chaffs?
