Charity Bags
 

Are people getting fed up with the amount of charity sacks being pushed through letterboxes. We have just had the third one this week. There is only so much you can give. Who is paying these people to distribute thes bags. Is it coming out of the charity funds. We have our own charities that we support as I suppose a lot of Accyweb members do.

Just look upon them as extra free rubbish bags.

Funnily Frank I haven't had any of these bags through for ages, in fact years, think they must have thought they were flogging a dead horse, never saw any collections in the area, never get the charity envelops either

Aren't you doing well. If I catch them at the door I give them back.

Re: Charity Bags
 

I was actually glad for them the other week -we had to clear out my Aunt's belongings after she passed away. Luckily there was a quick collection, for Helicopter rescue, which solved a lot of problems as we were without a car for taking things to charity shops.

And before some bright spark makes a quip -the stuff wasn't winched up and flown off!:D

Re: Charity Bags
 

Think that's the last think you'd want, some young Princeling buzzing round the houses showing off his chopper, don't think our kate'd be over impressed. :D

Don't know Dave she always seems to have that satisfied look on her face whenever you see her:D

Re: Charity Bags
 

I'll send them round when they come again

Re: Charity Bags
 

It'll probably be Max posting them through your letterbox.

Re: Charity Bags
 

Na I'll pass on that Frank, I'll stick to the takeaway menus and god botherers for now:D

Re: Charity Bags
 

In fact talking of God Botherers I had one last night while I was on Accyweb, but my intercom handset was in the bedroom so I could talk to the nice chap so he popped he a leaflet through the letterbox, why don't they come at a convenient time so I can give them verbals over the intercom:D

Re: Charity Bags
 

this topic was on fake britain and theres quite a lot of criminals making fake collection bags.One charity targeted was macmillans cancer who dont even do these bag collections but the bags and literature looked legit.They even printed their charity registration number but the phone number was wrong

Re: Charity Bags
 

I wish they'd stop putting holes in them-they'd make much better swing bin liners.
Very thoughtless of them.

Re: Charity Bags
 

Now that is the work of real scumbags, you only hope they get their just deserts later down the line, they deserve it:mad::mad:

Re: Charity Bags
 

sayin that though the legit charities arnt exactly reliable iv seen bags of stuff left out and still be there a week later after the said collection day has passed

Re: Charity Bags
