THE LAZY BEGGERS

Lucy, a loyal 2oceansvibe reader, sent in this wonderful account of some beggars she stumbled upon in Spain. But not just any beggars – beggars with a website! An incorrectly spelt website, no less!

They label the various types of donations you can give them, including wine, weed, cocaine, whisky and more.

Hi Seth

I read your blog often and thought you’d enjoy this.
In 2007 my sister, her fiancé and myself were in Sevilla, Spain and we spotted these these 2 stinky old bergies and the’r dogs on the side of the road. The only difference with these guys is they have their own website https://www.lazybeggers.com/ and in front of them they have about 5 different bowls esch with a different cardboard sign – they say the following – vino, porro (dagga), cocaina, resaca (hangover) and otro vicios (other vices). These bastards charge you to take a pic but you have to admire their entrepreneurial spirit! Classic!

Kindest regards,

Lucy

 

Check out their website – they’ve got pics of the various cities they hang in, as well as a blog and FAQ’s.

eg. this one – Do you know you don’t spell beggers [sic] like that?

Yes. The very kind friend that got us the domain name was in somewhat of a state of alchohol-induced dyslexia at the time and we couldn’t afford another domain-name to spell it right.

Excellent!
