• Go to Worcester and you will find most streets full of beggars, drunks and big issue sellers. There is a blind bloke who sings badly outside woolies and some people with dogs who think that blowing on a wooden pipe is a good reason to give them money. Many of these people are drunks and heroine addicts and if you don't give them money, they will abuse you. There is a guy who plays Beatles music badly on his guitar outside the guildhall - but if you want that, you can get it at Drummonds most weeks. The only tuneful buskers are rich kids from the local private schools who desperately need cash from the public to fund their trips to Florence and the Carribbean.
• Apart from Chicken George there are a couple of blind blokes who stand and sing 'How You Remind Me' continuously
• Well I hear the bible dudes are good for a laugh. If you get off on fire and brimstone. Oh, and the Sally Army. Chestnuts.
• Well, there is a few buskers almost all the time. There is either someone singing, 2 blind men playing the guitar, some jamacan people who play the bongas, men playing with fire, you name it, we also got it.
• the lady with the dog who has a landrover and her kid goes to A.O!
• The Blind Guy that whistles..he's great..oh and that lady tramp with the brown hair who always asks for money down by the bridge of st. Martins Gate with her yappy dog.
• loads!! drunk homeless people and alot of charity workers i helped the RNLI!
• There's a guy who plays the tin whistle, and if he plays anything which isn't Annie's Song ever, then I honestly will make a donation. Well? I'm waiting...

• The worst thing has to be the old bloke who stands outside Woolworths and dances with all the buskers every single Saturday.
• The old guy who dances outside Woolworths is called Chicken George for some unknown reason. He isn't all that bad, more a harmless long term feature of the town.
• Chicken George plays football with rotten apples on the high street. Most entertaining thing in Worcester.
• Loads down High Street - Mostly awful
• There's a blind bloke who sings (very badly) behind M&S, chuck him a couple of pennies to keep him happy. At leas he's doing something for his money, unlike the greebos by Lloyds cashpoint or opposite McD's.
