My problem with charities is that it's a nice little earner for some people. They should be forced to show how much out of every pound received is spent on administration (eg. wages, office costs, postage etc) and how much goes to the cause itself.

My mate drives HGVs. He'll do your trips for you and he's cheap.

I agree with Begs (yikes) all charities should post what percentage goes to help and how much their directors take out on salary. There was a case in Northern Ireland a few years back of a family running one of these-pick up your old clothes lark and the money goes to charity, 95% or something went to those shitbags.

My local shopping centre here is getting annoying. They seem to have decked out every spare spot of room that you can move in with people trying to flog stuff. In the space of 50 metres i can help Medicines San Frontiers, Unicef, Win a car, would i like to win 10,000 dollars - it's free - just fill oot this fookin survey, picture with Santa, we'll buy your gold off you, chinese guy and his fookin wind up animals and gay guys trying to put moisturizing creams with names i can't even pronounce on me. There's not enough cream in the world to save my head.
