    Let me guess - London?
    Who has time? Who has time? But then if we do not ever take time, how can we ever have time?

      Edinburgh & Glasgow. Hairy belly was Edinburgh and Madam Babushka was Glasgow.

      God knows what all the tourists think walking down Princes Street and seeing them all there.

            Outside the SE, anyone who calls me "Guv" or "Guvnor" gets ignored.

              My thoughts on them exactly. Although I do have to concede that since I am English they are probably intended to have that effect on me.

                Here in Geneva the beggers go up and down the trams with their hands out abd generally get ignored. There were a couple of 'women' who used to beg from the cars at a road junction. When the lights went red they would walk down the middle of the road begging from the drivers - they didn't even bother to pretend to clean their windows.

                Chuggers in the UK are the ones that really piss me off. It must be a hrad job as being told to sod off all day must be hard but walking through Leeds is a nightmare when these lot hit the streets
                Rule 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.

                I preferred version 1!

                    Same in London, sometimes it can take 20 mins to get across London Bridge cos of chuggers, bucket shakers, the fat one at the end that's always crying, the jock who wears no shoes and yells have a nice day, the guy with one leg who insists on sitting down with the fake one out at right angles, the juggler one, the free paper distributors, the tv film crews, the 'arty' film makers. Don't these people know there are IT systems to be maintained!

                      Managed to make it to the pub and back and only get hassled twice today. The hairy cesarian section Romanian lost her patch to a native beggar today.
