It's a good time for us to come begging in Britain: Romanian gipsy couple arrive on £38 flight and make £800 on streets of London in ONE WEEKEND to wire home to their family

The Daily Mail watched as Petru and Ancuta Neagu (pictured left), aged 29 and 25, filled out the MoneyGram forms (bottom right) to transfer £800 earned begging (top right) to their home city of Iasi in eastern Romania, where their four children, aged between one and seven, live. Within half an hour of sending the cash to Ancuta's mother, who is looking after her grandchildren, Petru was out begging again. He sat on the pavement at the entrance to Selfridges food hall, while Ancuta went shopping at Sainsbury's for the couple's lunch.
