[Less]

I getting very, very weary of the constant bombardment I'm getting from such a wide variety of Charities.
My letter box never has a day off, if I gave clothes to all the people begging for them I'd die of exposure.
Fortunately my white sack is next to the door so they are a benefit to my recycling.
Next in line are the better known charities that without any notice at all send so called raffle tickets & collection envelopes expecting me to wander the streets doing their job for them, (At the moment the worst of these seem to be age concern & the R.N.L.I), if I want to collect for a charity then I will contact you until then whatever you've sent is white sack fodder.

Then there is the constant nagging that comes in T.V. Adverts lots of children, families and animals all in dire straights each one pleading that I generously donate on average, 'just £3.00', per month.

No I won't if I gave to each of you AccyWeb would have to run an appeal for the downtrodden and starving member with more generosity than sense.

It has started effecting the way I behave when pubs run an appeal for some unfortunate that is terminally ill or in need of a trip to see a specialist,
I just don't want to know anymore because I'm sick and tired of being asked.

It isn't because I'm a skinflint I must have given away a fortune over my lifetime, but now, well, now I just don't want to know anymore my generosity needs a rest, time to recover, the chance to sort the good charities from the bad but unfortunately everyday there seem to be even more jumping on the charity gravy train, just so long as it no longer stops at my station maybe I'll start giving again until then they can all go away, their appeals have lost there appeal.
