this is why when i participate in fund raising events i make sure its for a local cause
It always amuses Cllr. Wendy Dwyer and myself, when we have the twin-set and pearls ladies up, from Parkinson's UK headquarters in London.

That they're always saying they 'do charity work'.

We always say 'No you're not. You're employed by a charity, and receive a generous salary for your efforts'.

By the way, any money we are lucky enough to be given gets spent up here, unless someone specifies they want it used towards research.

We determinedly send London's fancy office nowt.
