Is it just me, or are others fed up with the quantity of begging adverts
on TV? If I resonded to all of the, I reckon it would cost me over 2K
pounds a year. I do wonder how much it costs to make the advert and
screen it and fear that most of the doantion is wasted. I have a couple
of charities I support each year, and they don't spend a penny on TV.
What do others think?
I fully agree. And big organised charties are mostly scams. If you want
to be charitable, do so *locally* and *directly* to those you personally
can see are in need. Don't trust intermediaries who will pass on little
or nothing on to the cause they claim to support (the Clinton Foundation
for example passed on *nothing* of the money they raised for Haiti to the
Haitians).
