Here, on Belfast's Royal Avenue, we have two 'Chuggers' (charity muggers) - so called because they accost you on the street and try to persuade you to part with your hard earned dosh, all in aid of charity. You can probably find them in most cities, so are not really unique to Belfast. I think this week's charity is 'War on Want'.
I can just imagine the dialogue here:-
BOY: 'I've got one in my sights - he's got a digital camera, so he's not short of a bob or two'
GIRL: 'There goes a bus, if we hurry to the next stop we can probably get a few to sign up in return for being allowed off the bus!'
