Been Stopped in Edinburgh?

[Deleted User]

Anybody know what the slightly vacant looking, dressed from head to toe, headscarf wearing, female is peddling on Princes' Street just next to the Waverly Market most days?

I have watched her a few times from the other side of the road - she seems to pick on the young, the elderly, or tourists, speak to them for a few minutes, then thay either shake their heads and walk off, or end up giving her money.

Any ideas?

isn't she Hare Kirshna or something?

yeah, i think she is Hare Kirshna. She used to give you a book if you gave her some money.

She used to stand at the top of Fleshmarket Close and ambush you when you were at your weakest - after climbing up the 300 or so steps yer too knackered to run away!!!

Thought it might be "lucky white heather". :-)

As long as it wouldn't get me into bother (huge minder hiding round corner, etc:eek:) I am almost tempted to go up and speak to her - I am a bit of a devil for things like that - I like few things better than winding somebody up who deserves it.;)

At least if she is speaking to me, she is leaving others alone, especially the elderly or the tourists!!:p

Cheers!

She has many clones throughout the city! Just say gouranga and scuttle off.

Annoying people, IMHO :rolleyes:

She's a bloomin' pest. Avoid like the plague but you'll have to be capable of drastic body-swerve, if she or one of her partenres in nuisance set their mind to stopping you.

Don't think she's one of the Hare Krishna sect/cult.
