Is that not just used for begging? Or maybe thats just once it becomes porous perhaps, most of those begging cups look like they've long since started to biodegrade.[/quote:3kbxms9v]

It's called tappin' by the boys on the streets <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

They all get slagged about it in the joy and cloverhill, but they all do it when they're stuck.
"Ha imagine yore ma came along and you tappin, ye'd be scarlah" sorta thing.

I know this cos of work I used to do with street people in Dublin, not cos of personal experience <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->
