This picture shows what I mean. The chugger (on the right of the picture) has handed the victim a PDA rather than a form on a clipboard. This is doubtless more efficient than using dead trees. Damn! I used to rely on the tell-tale clipboard to easily distinguish between chuggers and ordinary people. The other thing you'll notice about the chugger is overal dull clothing. Yes, there is a large "Greenpeace" on the sleeve but the chest logo is quite small.The Chugger Club "The Public Fundraising Regulatory Association" has a rule book which states:
An ordinary member of the public should be able to clearly identify a person as a fundraiser working on behalf of a charity from a distance of 5 metres
If you look at this guy sideways, I think he's OK on that. From the front? Actually, he is wearing a bright T-shirt under his coat, and let's be fair, it wasn't the warmest of days.
My second picture shows the team breaking up for the day and another chugger's branded T-shirt is clearly visible.
You may also notice a green umbrella (bottom left). I didn't see it deployed but it wasn't raining.
