I saw her put down her accordion and she left it on the ground then went into Lidls, if it had been in Liverpool it would have dissapeared in a flash

There were the men selling windscreen wipers in Lidl car park again this morning but as I was with my husband this time they didn't bother us to much.
They approached us but saying a firm NO THANK YOU they went.
Still not nice to keep having them around though.

But they could chuck it away into a bin somewhere

Funny this topic has come up, but outside Lidl this morning was the usual woman who plays the same old notes, over and over again, on the most scruffy-looking accordion you have ever seen. If she played a nice tune from start to finish that would be something, but this is the same 'orrible few out of tune notes over and over. Normally I am generous in giving to genuine, talented street musicians, but these people don't deserve a cent.

It's just the same few notes. Over and over and over.

Once there was a bloke there, playing it. He could actually knock out a tune. But in her case, it is as if she was given one line of a sheet of music and told to get on with it.

Sounds like she cannot play to this standard but must assume some people feel sorry for her & part with their money. Why else would she come back?
