General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

There was a bloke sat at the lights outside of Tesco Wigan a few weeks back with a collecting cup and a cardboard written message, he's now gone, but the other day a woman was sat at the lights at the end of Gower Street in Newtown with a collecting cup and a written message on a piece of card. I suppose the reports of them making quite a good living out of it may well be true in some cases, Arthur Conan Doyle in his Sherlock Holmes stories wrote about the wealthy man living a very profitable double life as a beggar, The Man With The Twisted Lip, so the rumours must have been rife back then too.
