Charity Bags

Are people getting fed up with the amount of charity sacks being pushed through letterboxes. We have just had the third one this week. There is only so much you can give. Who is paying these people to distribute thes bags. Is it coming out of the charity funds. We have our own charities that we support as I suppose a lot of Accyweb members do.

Just look upon them as extra free rubbish bags.

Funnily Frank I haven't had any of these bags through for ages, in fact years, think they must have thought they were flogging a dead horse, never saw any collections in the area, never get the charity envelops either

Aren't you doing well. If I catch them at the door I give them back.

Re: Charity Bags

I was actually glad for them the other week -we had to clear out my Aunt's belongings after she passed away. Luckily there was a quick collection, for Helicopter rescue, which solved a lot of problems as we were without a car for taking things to charity shops.

And before some bright spark makes a quip -the stuff wasn't winched up and flown off!

Think that's the last think you'd want, some young Princeling buzzing round the houses showing off his chopper, don't think our kate'd be over impressed.
