Beggars
 

Most beggars these days appear to be foreign. Nice to see that we are overtaking the home team on at least one issue!

Watch it or the PC prowlers will be on to you.

I had a taste of that a couple of days ago, when I dared to suggest that locals were angry that a foreigner caused 3 police to drown.

But yes there are a lot of "imported" beggars........

Re: Beggars
 

You ever seen Brits begging? I did once and told them in no uncertain terms where to go......**** off back to the UK.

Re: Beggars
 

I did see a Brit making ashtrays from cans, he was selling them, so I dont know if that is really begging.
I also know an old Spanish guy in Galicia, he threads beads on a bit of elastic and give them to the people who give him money. More dignity than just expecting money with nothing in return.

I think the OP means, the ones who sit down with their hand out.

Re: Beggars
 

How do you know where the beggars come from? The ones round here all look the same, scruffy and unshaven, with tri-lingual messages on their cardboard. I don't know if it's the Spanish law, but they don't speak.

If you turn them upside down you will find a stamp with the country of origein on the sole of their shoes.;)

I've just had a look at my shoes, it seems I'm from Taiwan.

Re: Beggars
 

In that case I am Italian.

Re: Beggars

Re: Beggars
 

I am usually barefooted. does that make me a homeless, stateless beggar? :rofl:

Re: Beggars
 

It makes you a Descalzonian, from the lovely counrty of Descalcia.;)

It doesnt matter though unless you are a beggar.

Re: Beggars
 

Apparently, they are collecting money... to take accordion lessons (bu boom!)

Re: Beggars
 

OK, so being a boring oldie I will bring it back onto topic. The only beggars that I have seen in this area have been gippos outside of Lidls and drunks outside of the Mercadona at Cullera but in the past year I have not seen the gippos begging at all.
