I did a greenpeace chugger in a few weeks ago, as in, countered most of his points. He was well against Dove.

Ethical, commercial or other reasons?

Both
1) Displacement of local population and wildlife due to deforistation, along with a lot of Ocupy talk, who he couldn't give a main objective too. We totally agreed that any american against a nationalised healthcare isn't 'human'.....

It was was meet with....

"So we as westeners are allowed to use up our natural resources, manage to get a good quality of life, but nobody else can?.... these companies create jobs where none exist, creates a local economy. It's horrofic when you see young children sowing together shoes, but they're the ones who'll be eating that evening. Ok, they should pay a hell of a lot more, too much profit, but where it's gone wrong is between the farm and factory owners, and their staff. THAT is where things need to change.".

I have a regular sport of telling chuggers to fuck off. Regardless of the charity.
As I dislike the fact that the charity doesn't see any of the money for at least the first 12 months.

I have managed to tell 4 to fuck off this week. This is down on my weekly average of 6.

I hate the way they try and reel you in with their cheerfulness and false compliments.

Nope! she don't count either.
Drunks, mentals and kids don't count.

The very worst ones are the ones who go door-to-door.
Got one a few years ago and made the mistake of answering the door to him. I only agreed and signed up to get him to fuck off out of my house.

They're like vampires.
They can only come in if you invite them. So don't.

They're there at Farringdon station at least every 3 days.
I normally say something like "OK, I already give to 3, you choose who's spot you'll take because I have limited funds" I'd ask them to do that on camera if they agree.

Holborn and High St Ken' tubes seem to be the worst that I have encountered.
I have seen a couple of good things on the tube recently:

A hawk being released (on a long lead) inside Marylebone to scare the pigeons away. Watched this for ages.

Several blokes offering to help a mum with a newborn baby get up the stairs - reassures me that people will help my wife if I am not around when she is out and about.

Sniffer dogs stood at the bottom of the escalator. The look on some peoples faces as they come down is priceless as they try and work out how to ditch whatever they are carrying.

Oh man, the hawk thing sounds amazing.
Above Smithfields they have a kite that is shaped like a big bird that I presume is there for that reason. The snifferdog thing would make me lol, it's not like if you can start running up. They seem to use Kings Cross for guide-dog training, I do like it when I see them. And the new trains on the metropole are amazing when I get on one of those.

Yeah', you're right 'bout the misses, it's always good to help out, I've helped out a few times, plus grannies with big bags. But what gets me is that sevrel times Iv'e gone home and been blatently what I thought that I wasn't right (bent over double and squatting down), without getting offered a seat.
