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?

most charities are just a money making fiddles and jobs for those who run
them...peanuts go to the needy .....

as a trustee for 3 charities, all of which are run by volunteers, I'd
disagree with you.

I also take exception of the excessive Children in Need on BBC TV. when
it started yonks ago it was OK, but not it takes over for days, they
even cancel scheduled programs for repeats of the blasted thing.
