    There must be big money in begging.
    In our "holiday" town there are five supermarkets.
    For weeks before Commonwealth/Olympic or sports events; crews of three or four young people (mid 20s) in neat uniforms man the entrances to some of the stores.
    They collect for athletes and paras; stay at a fancy golf resort, and party.

    Some older people get concerned and hand over a donation just to get away.
    For the "workers or beggars" it's a great holiday in a luxury resort, all meals and on full pay.
    I asked if they were uni students, but an older man said to me to move on.
