As Margaret says been going on for years in downtown Manchester.

Yet another benefit from our wonderful EU.

First ask them if they have change for a fifty ... if they nod, they are not deaf .... then kick them in the plums, and if they scream, they are not dumb.

The scammers weren't deaf or dumb, they understood every word she said to them, didn't break their cover, just backed away.
