I donate to a well known overseas charity by monthly direct debit, I got a letter a while back informing me that they've increased it in line with inflation.
Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

My infalliable excuses are either:
"you lot were here the other day and I talked to you then"
"I just spoke to your mate over the street"
"I already give to you lot" (this works best)"Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny. "

There's no need to be a git. Just say "sorry I'm not interested" without breaking stride, or walk past without answering if you must. Unless they are pretty, then you could have a chat.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsOriginally posted by vetranComment

I smile and say I'm not interested but one guy wouldn't take no for an answer so I politely told him that I do make occasional donations to charity, but never to any charity that employs chuggers. He asked why and I said I want any money I give to go needy people not chuggers. He seemed really surprised but had to concede I had a point.Comment

They've spread.....
to Belgium where I am. Over here being English is enough to stop them in their tracks (even though I have a Belgian Bank Account).
When I return to the UK I'll just pretend to be foreign, should do the trick.Comment

Why should you have to? Yonks ago I was told that somebody collecting using a tin was breaking the law if they rattled the tin. Something to do with the act if giving being voluntary. In the case of Chuggers they jump in front of you to stop you.Originally posted by d000hg View PostRule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
