go on then.  It came up he was viewing this thread before, but he's obviously not replied.  Has to be better than discussing the utter s**** going on over there.

[Tooj]

Wtf.

[Wullie]

I got some charva asking me for change for the phone the other day near my house. f*** knows where he was going to ring from cos I've never seen a phone box anywhere down my way.

[Liam Liam Liam O]

Wtf.

No denial then

[Tooj]

Wtf.

It probably was me yesterday tbf, I don't really remember these things as that's what crack cocaine does to you, but I need to feed the habit somehow. I was in town yesterday though so it was a possibility, the three weeks before however couldn't have been me, might have been the stunt double I pay though to do it for me when some days I just can't be arsed.

[WarrenBartonCentrePartin]

Wtf.

for whatever reason we're accusing you of being a beggar.

Ah, stunt doubles.  That would explain the excessive number of adidas jackets you have to buy.

I used to live on Diana Street just up from SJP. about 25 years ago and every match day you would get masses of cars parked all the way up Pitt Street and on our street. The little charvas would just sit on the wall and collect their money from drivers. I was told that the threats were not empty. These kids were basically offering a small-scale protection racket. That was ages ago mind.

Quiet a few, I especially hate the Big Issue blokes who try to sell you one and then keep it to themselves ("it's my last one"). Cheeky bastards.

Respect to those charvers who say 'lend iz half a quid' though, I love that phrase

[Mucky01]

it used to be “lend us ten bob”,
– it’s a lot more inventive nowadays!

Anyone seen the lass on Northumberland street, generally outside Superdrug, quite well dressed, and well spoken, about 18-20, asks for 40p, always polite. First time I thought she generally had no money, but then she asked me again a few weeks later, seems pretty random.

I remember them, I got a mate in about 5 years ago with on of my dads mates. He parked kid asked for money, guy tells them to f*** off, as he has a dog in the back of the car that will attack them. The kid replies "well mister thats all good, but can your dog put out fires ?". He gave them the 50p.
