Increase in Gypsies?

yes begging does happen all over the world, however two years ago my family was sat in serkul 1 my daughter was 13 at the time and a young rose seller approached us and we said no thank you, she continued to stand by our table and stare at my daughter, my daughter has severe facial scars due to being born with a large brown birthmark, however the rose seller started laughing then went on to spit in my daughters face, before we could  respond one of the waiters saw this and chased her away,i was furious as we are always are polite to them, i will not give these people the time of day after that

Now that makes me think quite the opposite to what I said before. I'd never decide not to give a penny to "these people" because of the actions of one. That was a horrible thing to happen to your daughter but I have never heard of anything similar happening. It does seem harsh to tar them all with the same brush as that nasty piece of work you had the misfortune to meet.

thank you, and i agree i would like  to think that i treat them as individuals however after this it was hard to  do that, but as you say we cannot tar them all with the same brush
