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.


Can you name them - so I can add them mentally to my "not a scam" list?

I too am pretty jaundiced by so called charities. You have the RSPCA who
used to do good work, but now seem to be acting more like "police" -
usually against random individuals, but I never hear of them taking on
some random "travellers" who have manky mistreated old nags, nor do I
hear them speaking out against halal and kosher slaughter without pre
stunning.

Any charity that I see using a chugger goes onto my "ban" list too.

As does any charity that posts any gimmicks through my door that
probably cost more than someone puts in the tin if they stood outside
Sainsburys.
