Punks, who call themselves so
« on: February 25, 2016, 10:36:26 »
New open topic: "Punks, who call themselves so"

Always a very colorful topic, going back to the late 70ies, so film scans and photos of today all welcome.

I met two yesterday, asking for money for

"Puff" = whorehouse
"Kiffen" = pot smoking
"Bier" = beer
"Essen" = food
"Hund" = dog

They must have a lot of reasons not to work for the matters they crave.

Borge: I asked them whether it was OK for them if I took a photo, they said yes. I gave them money for food, but I guess they will reshuffle. Most of the money was in "for pot smoking". They were laughing all the time listening to some comedian on the little black box in the middle.

Fons: The matters do not leave them much time and  power to go working...

I am more of an easy going socialist and I believe that if people don't want to work, they shouldn't be forced by society to work.

That's fine...as long as they find a honest way to fulfill necessary life needs (begging might not be it).

Don't know if they are still around but there used to be a couple of groups of Punk Rockers on the Kings Road, Chelsea that made a pretty good living posing for tourists.  They were there in 2009 , one of our London area members can probably confirm.  They were a heck of a lot more interesting , and entertaining, than this pair  ;) .  The Japanese tourists were a major source of income   :) .  I would imagine the Chinese tourists would have taken the number one spot.

Sten, I agree, begging of all sort should be against the law.

Yes, I hope this will be a Community effort and everybody will post their Punk Shots!
