christian aid or unicef or somebody like that
were sending out envelopes with 2 pennies in them
then saying 2p a month can help to feed a child
so hoot are they posting them oot for
numpties

so the pints are on you then this afternoon ?

This is far from funny..... Why are they not using those pennies to feed the weans.... What, with the cost of the stamp, they could have thrown a birthday party.... I wont be giving them any money if they are just going to send it to people who are going to drink it away.

its not much different from the charities that send out pens with the forms hoping you will use the pen to fill out the form. a lot of money must be spent on the pens.. me..i use the pen to fill out my football coupon.

I appreciate receiving those pens as well and I'm sure they cost more than a couple of pence!

How much does it cost the charities to deliver their bin-bags... especially when they don't always return to collect what has been left out it seems like too much initial expense and effort!

maybe their jeest trying to get folk talking about the prblem. 2p, ?

id like to go to your bar if you get pints for 2p

puttting a pen in an envelope or two pence does not make me want to donate to a charity. when they tell me how much money can build a well or buy medicine , thats the sort of stuff that makes me put money to charities. it also pisses me off when celebs jump on the band wagon. i also hate the fact celebs tell you to put money to charities, if every celeb in the country put their years income to a charity (witch they probably wouldnt notice in their bank account) the charities involved might not do so badly.

bloody celebs

Over here, there is a political party for animals(not for party animals). Their whole list is made up from celebs, so there are even enough people here to vote for them. They would get 5 seats in the governement.

fascile and deleted

i think its hoora funny

It's almost as bad as when you stop to use the public lavatories in Inveraray. You have to spend twenty pence just to spend a penny therefore coming away 21p down.

Was in those toilets a couple of weeks ago, cost twenty pence, and turned out it was only wind... Dont think I've ever been so depressed... Just try explaining that to the lassie on reception ar Kilmory when you are trying to get a refund... Bl**dy jobsworths
