The Professionals are in town

I walked along princes St today and it looked like a bit of a war zone with various beggars with missing limbs asking for cash. Now call me old fashioned and cynical but are these folk just not shipped in for the festival season for a quick buck?

I've never seen them before and they are taking money and deflecting attention from the genuine homeless guys that seem to have been along and around Princes St for ever and to whom I try to give a coffee or a sandwich to, some times I get told to F off but most of the time they are fine.

Anyway in the end I gave some cash to Head in A Bucket Man a true professional who is self taught and has been doing this for many years. He did tell me his name once but I prefer Head in a Bucket Man
