Ah yes..chuggers [1] (charity muggers)

Sometime in the early 2000s the most of British charity was transformed (dragged through the mud) by corporate whackjobs, PR gurus, and Feng Shui design soothsayers to align their ley-lines and whatnot.

Charity shops stopped having any actual bargains in them, and the money boxes we used to enjoy putting spare change into vanished.

They made up all kinds of bizarre, frankly unbelievable stories about how the staff "weren't trained to handle cash" and that robbers would steal their charity tins (in broad daylight outside Waterloo station under 200 CCTV cameras... like Jimmy Reckon!)

Then all those charity scandals about abuse and corruption came out.

Heartbreaking what a few clueless, vicious vandals and scumbags in suits can do to brand reputations earned over centuries.
