Dodging Gouranga Troops in Glasgow

I had a friend that told them "Sorry, I'm ginger!" and walked off. The look of confusion was fantastic.

lol I was just trying to explain to my new flatemate about the gouranga people - she's not had the pleasure of seeing them yet!

They all seem to spin a different story. One told me they live in the hills & live off donations people give them so could I go into Sainsburys & get him a pint of full fat milk & a pack of butter, real butter in the foil (he was v specific) then that would be great. Aye nae bother pal! I managed to get back out the other door without him seeing me....

Another time I told one that I believed in the one true god, lord jesus christ. He actually got very angry with me & started shouting abuse - cant remember what, that was years ago.

Another stopped me with "have you ever met a monk before?"
Me: "yes"
Him "really? where?"
Me: "eh buchan street mostly, yous are always knocking about!!"
He didnt really have much to say after that!

They do my head in!!

There was one of these people in Perth High Street a couple of weeks ago. I just ignore them. To be honest I hate anyone standing in a busy town/city trying to get my attention to give a charity or a religious group any money. My pet hate has to be these charity people who stand outside in the street from Central Station in Glasgow, they have about 5 of them so if you get past one the next one tries to grab you. Take a small child with you and usually they leave you alone!!

Stirling is the place not Sterling, thats a furniture shop in Tillicoutry...:rotfl:

I thought they lived on the little island (Holy Isle?) just off of Arran. But I could well be wrong, seems a bit strange for them to travel all that way every day.

Nah, that's a Buddhist retreat..... I think the gouranga mob are something else.

Best advice is to avoid all city centres, I've been doing it for years.....works for me!
