I have to say that my personal response to people collecting for charity is "I pay enough in taxation for the government to take care of that. I do not see the point of keeping a dog and barking yourself."

The only charity I contribute towards is the Haig Fund and I do that as a continuing means of expressing my appreciation of what I enjoy as a result of the sacrifice of others.

It is not so long ago that I pointed out the scandal of the Guide Dogs for the Blind charity, with reserves of millions of pounds, which it prefers to keep in the bank while spending less than it takes in donations each year.

The Imperial Cancer Research Fund; how many millions of people's hard earned money have been poured into that black hole over the years, and are we any closer to a cure for cancer?

The NSPCC would have us believe that if enough of us donated by direct debit every month, then cruelty to children would suddenly become a thing of the past. Who are they trying to kid?
