Beggars…

Scammers.

Yes they do collaborate to share their takings - The Kings Cross lot certainly do. It's not a scam tho.....it's just a bunch of people trying to make the best of what they have and being self-supporting. Don't ask me how they organise ir however.....clearly someone has to do it and maybe crime is involved .....who knows?

Sorry 3 people with 1 leg each…seems a high concentration, like if they’ve came from the same place

Was it a Dudley Moore as Tarzan tribute act?

Seemed to be quite a high number of beggars around the stadium, never really noticed it before but counted at least 4 or 5.

Is it a sign of the times or a gang working together?

The club needs every penny it can get.

Legno land ?

I laughed at that so much more than I should....

Well I’m assuming they’ll not be around for the playoffs as that’s a 2 legged affair.

Homeless people - so sad.

What's worse is that because of contactless payments hardly anyone (including me) has change to give them.
Before lockdown I used to save up my £1 coins to give to the homeless at Kings Cross - I really need to start doing that again.

But - What I learned from an investment banker mate of mine who doubled up as a refuge centre helper around Trafalgar Square .... Is that what homeless people really want is some dialogue (worth more than money) you can fling 50p at them but really what they crave is some kind words..... to feel like they belong and still matter. Just a "hi how are you".

This thread has reminded me to get my act together.

Thank you.

Hate to break it to you, but there's a reason why the council, police, homeless charities all say don't give them money.

There were loads around the ground today. More turning up each week

3 people with one leg? I wonder what the chances of that are. I didn't see them but are you sure they haven't taped their leg up as some do?

With their disheveled clothes they were the new holy trinity, or going with the organised gang side of things, you’ve heard of the triads - they’re the tripods!

My pal once necked on with a homeless lass.

Second leg is at their ground.

One year on holiday in Valencia I walked past a young lad beggar and felt a bit guilty.
Later I walked pat him again and he was on his mobile which was far better than my own.

Is there a place where all people with one leg live?

A community or movement that target large crowds who knows…

It’s possible… I’d expect them all to be equipped with pet dogs in a few weeks

One under St Peter’s metro station had a dog.
