I saw a massive fight between rival chuggers on St John's Road this morning. Apparently it all started when a guy from Shelter accused the bloke from Amnesty International of copying details from one his completed direct debit mandates. A few harsh words were exchanged and then the clipboards started flying. After a couple of minutes a guy from Scope and a couple of people from The Children's Society piled in and it turned into a full-on ruck.

I managed to break it up with the help of a homeless guy who had been selling The Big Issue nearby. Unfortunately for him in the last moments of the scuffle the man from Shelter took a final swing at Mr Amnesty, missed and hit the homeless guy instead. The irony was lost on no-one. It was properly ironic. Not like in that song.
