As the high streets open up again and Chuggers return let's have a lighthearted conversation as to whether they are angels or the devil himself or fall somewhere in-between ?

What are your tactics on seeing that person in a hi viz jacket with a logo locking eyes with you

A, stare at the ground and increase walk to wrap speed

B, put people between yourself and them

C, approach for a chat with your credit card saying where do I sign up

D, sign up because you're to nice to say no

E, cross the road

Or something else

Love to hear your funny stories

If they stop me, I say that I give to a local animal charity and thats it.

Tell them I'm foreign and don't have a bank account here.

If they press, give details that would be true if they were talking to my sister.

I prefer the air plane route of dealing with them.

Actually that segues nicely into my wanging thread...

The door knickers have already been out for a few weeks - really irritating.

I never buy anything that way so totally not interested in their “free” house improvements. I just say no thanks to chuggers of any kind - I know they are just trying to earn some money but don’t like my space invaded.

Fundraising doesn’t work as effectively without asking, in all its form, and it’s their job. I loathe the idea that some charities still can’t train staff to understand where monies go to, or donations are broken down etc, as I think that they are fair questions.

I usually acknowledge, smile and walk on by. I’ve previously given that way but feel like I prefer to keep it more local to myself now.

Worked in Manchester City centre for years and they always tried to accost you on Market street. So I just avoided that street

To be honest if they get in my way I generally tell them I have a DD with Make a Wish (I do, it’s not a lie) and can’t afford more. I pay to that charity and it guarantees my place in heaven when I die.
