me too, I always ignore then but today I actually felt bad, a girl who seem quite shy approached me tentatively at Liverpool street and asked for a minute, she seem downhearted when I said sorry and wobbled my head, they must get that rejection 99% of the day, a hard way to make money and definitely for the thick skinned, don'tt think she'll last long by the look of her but one day if she's pretty enough I may just stop, I know that's sounds bad but I don't want to be standing still in busy areas.

In general they are a pest, and is tantamount to harassment, summer in the city is always the worse you can't move 50 yards without one jumping out on you, to me it does seem as if the males are trained to approach the females and the female chuggers are trained to approach the males

I always scream , at the top of my voice, "Leave me alone !"

They back off then, with a sheepish grin.

Ha !

they are a damn nuisance. they probably cost shops trade too, loads of people deliberately walk a different way to avoid them. if you have a shop and theyre outside it, it must be infuriating. i really dont get why they havent been banned. no difference between what they do and what beggars do.

At my age I am glad if any young woman came up to me in the street.  I think it should be encouraged.
By the way,  how much does one of these young ladies charge for a 'chugg' behind Selfridges??

Not really, I stay relaxed, avoid eye contact and keep walking.

Short for Charity Mugger, the people in the street who try to sign you up to give to charity

Goodness me, I've never heard of that term before. We don't get those types in Dulwich Village, we'd set the hounds on them.

Shelter are the worst.

Tell them that you are homeless and they need to work harder to find you a home
