This time, you are walking along a main road in a British town when a young adult comes up to you. He/she is holding a clipboard and a small bag that appears to contain documents, and a badged tin for collecting money. You recognise that this person is working for a British charity ~ and wants to ask you some questions, take up your time, and may be trying to 'sign you up' to give regular money to the charity. Maybe you approve of this charity (it might be for medical research, or animals) but you would not feel comfortable in a long conversation on this topic. What do you say, as early as you can?
