What Law am I breaking ?

[Bazile]

I park my roller in town in car park , take off my expensive suit and put on a track suit - then proceed to the main street in city centre and start begging for money .

Am I breaking any laws ?

[Sipowicz]

If it's a shell suit, you're breaking the law of good taste!

[dotty.]

yes begging is probably against a local bylaw unless you have applied for a begging license wo the local authority, available in all languages i believe

[ummmm]

I don't think so. Unless you use aggressive techniques.

[pdust]

is it a good earner?

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

Begging is against the law, not that anyone ever gets arrested for it.

[Prudie]

It depends - are you keeping your obligatory staffie on a leash?

[tonyav]

Did you pay to park the roller ?

[Bazile]

//Did you pay to park the roller //

That's vulgar

[tonyav]

LOL.

[stewey]

Probably lots of municipal by-laws; however, which particular one do you want to be informed of? Remember, beggars can't be choosers.

[ummmm]

Lol Stewey..

[baza]

Do you mean Bay City Roller[s]?

[tonyav]

Wrong thread again, baza.

[Bazile]

Bay city rollers - that brings back memories .
I remember them being on TOTP , each sitting on a brand new white gleaming roller .

Didn't they get ripped off by their manager ?

[tonyav]

Yes, Bazile they did.

[malagabob]

Yes i believe it is. I think the law was passed after the end of the Napoleonic war,
when there were so many soldiers basically unemployed, there was an epidemic of begging.

[sandyRoe]

Sell the Big Issue, that's a way to get around laws on begging.

[Postdog]

Roller, shell suit..... I thought this was a Jimmy Savile thing at first!

[factor-fiction]

Enjoy, Bazile
