Charity mugger

You can meet so-called charity muggers or "chuggers" outside M&S on Moorgate most days of the week.

The causes are all good. However, if you walk past a different set of people every day, each of whom want to stop you, " just fir a second", then it may only take a day or 2 before general good causes fatigue sets in.

I've wanted to get a picture of this for a while. In fact, however, this picture isn't representative of what normally happens. Mostly people just walk past the chuggers, sometimes there are words exchanged, not always friendly. This picture is unusual as the bloke on the left appears to be signing up. He obviously has less qualms about handing over personal information to a complete stranger than I have.
