Charity Workers

Anyone noticed the new breed of charity workers who tend to work in packs and casually stroll up to you with the offer of a "chat".

I decided, after walking past about five of the sods all offering a "chat", to call their bluff and before one of them managed to launch into their script I immediately started up a "chat" by asking what their thoughts were on the stance NATO should take over the Russia/Georgia situation.

This drew a bit of a blank with my new found and apparently not so chatty friend so I decided to take the conversation down a few levels.

Alas their opinion on whether Big Brother was just an excuse to provide unemployed Geordie tv commentators with jobs was also somewhat lost on them and so I bid my farewell.
