Sorry to set up another poll leading from a previous topic, but these things interest me!

it really annoys me that people expect you to give money. children in need does do some good work (although im not convinced on all their projects). You are now supposed to not be allowed to rattle money jars at people but still people come to your door collecting which i think is a disgrace. I help the charities i want to but if someone comes up to me asking for money they can * off.....

[Uglybob]

what about the ones in the middle of the road in busy streets.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

dont even get me started on that its one of the things that annoys me most an i would never be a part of. if people want to raise money fine but think up an original way of doing it. its like when they pass buckets round at the football that annoys me bloody cheek of it.

talking bout blocking the roads they cleverly carried out a road census in Bolton the other week stopping cars on the main road at peak time....

[Sidders]

Some people make a fortune by asking people for 20p for a 'bus ticket'.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

yeah when i used to go to uni on the train people always used to ask me. generally i worked on the coward rule of if they were bigger than me i gave them some money... (got me through school anyway...)

I normally just give them some money, just to get them to piss off.

A nice loud F**K OFF can work wonders... Obviously if they're the girl who comes round the pub with the luverly knockers I don't tell her to f**k off, I just lie and tell her I've lost all my change in the fruit machine...

In Warrington there was a guy who would always say he needed money for the train back to Wigan or somewhere else. Someone wrote into the local paper about him and my sister slapped him when he came up to her and her friends asking for money.

I have raised money for charities in the past like the NSPCC with Easter Egg appeals and Christmas present appeals. And some money for my local hospital.

I don't mind giving my money to proper charities.

i totally agree with this! how can we, the people giving the money see how they are spending it.

i think alot of the money is wasted, and some of the people are really ungrateful. this WILL shock you.
one of my dads clients sent loads of white rice over to a country where they are all starving. it got there but they wouldnt eat it because it wasnt BROWN rice. how ungrateful!so it all got shipped back to england. i know if i hadnt had a meal in a week id eat whatever i was given!
out of principal i dont give money.

another thing is beggers. they sit looking ruff and asking for money and then they use that money to spend on drugs not food.

the only charity thing i do do is but the big issue because they are trying to get over being homeless they are making the effort which i commend.

The best bit is when you see Phil Collins or some other good to do celeb claiming "just £2000 will help this African village live for a year" I always feel like saying "well you bloody give it to them Phil,you've probably got that much down the back of your sofa"
