Nice to see the deprived and run down area of childwall get something. My sister used to live there. No pronounced d in childwall.
Pdsa write to me and ask for donations. I used to give until rags got ill and they told us 'sorry pdsa don't cover your post code' . So all that time they'd been collecting money off the good people of Atherstone and the pdsa don't even cover the town.
I didn't realise just how many good ground level good causes benefit from the lottery, that womans forum tea fund for example. I don't benefit from that do I, or do I? what did it really go on. oh yes vj day and international womans week. but as I'm not in accy I don't benefit do I, same as I don't from childwall school, pdsa, or churchill papers, or the Olympics or......

Does that mean that they shouldn't get the money though or that they don't deserve it.

I actually Think I benefit from all of those, the benefit is a better society as a whole, less slums, more community spirit, more civic pride, less suffering animals, a clearer conscience for me, a preserved history, a proud country.
