I'll buy the big issue and drop coins in a hat for anyone entertaining - even if it is not strictly 'busking'. I will rarely give to outright beggars but some have caught my imagination! The guy in London who looked so much like George Best looked realy confused when I gave him a couple of quid and told him to put it towards a new liver. I like the honesty of the one in Chicago who asked for a contribution to the Jack Daniels fund:-) And the young man in Weymouth went away very happy for the donation of a pair of good winter gloves.

Cheers
