There seem to be more beggars everywhere I go now. It's a sad sign of the times. I always give people change if I have got it on me. I've also bought food for people on occasion. A couple of wrong moves and many of us could be in their boat - see the statistics below from Shelter;

  • 35%, equivalent to 8.6 million people, could not pay their rent or mortgage from their savings for more than a month.
  • 18%, equivalent to 4.4 million people, wouldn’t be able to pay their rent or mortgage at all if they couldn’t secure a new job immediately.

They do tend to harass people in brum though, for example I didn't give this one guy change and he starting screaming ''I'll fucking kill you!!!'' I had to run for fear of being assaulted.

Was just a shit joke Yog! Sorry mate.

And no it isn't.

No worries Scruffylovemonster, as it was taken that way. It's just that your post made me wonder if there were any people who found the Birmingham accent aggressive. I would have thought we just sound a bit dim witted.

Kind of related to accent - I once watched a tv report about some extravaganza that was taking place in Manchester. The tv crew switched filming to three OAP's who were getting off the train at Manchester. The reporter asked the ladies what they thought of the spectacle going on around them. One of the ladies then replied 'we're from Birmingham, we don't know what's going on'. I thought to myself that that sums us up quite nicely. lol

    • Chill. There is no chance Sziget will be cancelled by the government. Even the prime minister held a press conference today, where he confirmed this.   Magyar said they do not want to shut down the country or prevent events from taking place. He gave the example that vetoing an event would be like completely cutting off a large consumer’s electricity supply for the organizers. However, just as they have not taken such a measure against large consumers, they have not taken steps to cancel events either. (Magyar did not name a specific event, but he was presumably referring specifically to the Sziget Festival.) At the same time, Péter Magyar stressed that if disruptions occur in the system or the heatwave persists, it could become necessary to postpone or reschedule events (example: some Hungarian football games will probably be held in daylight, moved to a few hours earlier, to save energy), although he believes there is currently little chance of that happening. This is particularly true for events that rely entirely, or largely, on their own energy sources.
    • If the campervan field residents aren’t allowed to cut through orchid they’ve got a brutal walk on their hands.   otherwise not too many surprises 
    • This. I always read in awe the hatred toward the festival and Gerendai.  I see no chance of it being cancelled, except if something worse happens, like the whole electric grid collapses or something. But that’s not really a case. Worst case scenario is that the whole thing will be ran by diesel generators for the sake of the environment.
    • they are shutting down the nuclear power plant until Friday ; sziget starts 3 days later plus, they said they will have to import energy.    So I see no point in cancelling an event that will make them lose money
