Replies: 87 Small Beer? Views: 88 Posted By Margaret Pilkington Re: Small Beer? Neil, can't you spot a tongue in cheek comment yet? I frequently donate and don't take the badge. I am currently making cards for charity and every penny donated goes to the two cancer charities...

Replies: 87 Small Beer? Views: 88 Posted By Margaret Pilkington Re: Small Beer? But is the poppy appeal business masquerading as charity? Doesn't more of that money go to those it is supposed to help? I just think it is a cynical advertising ploy.....Now whether that is just...

Replies: 87 Small Beer? Views: 88 Posted By Margaret Pilkington Re: Small Beer? Neil it is commerce masquerading as charity support. I am also sure that these soldiers would have enjoyed a beer (or two) that does not mean that they would like their deeds to be used for...
