When is this dross over?

Sick of the telly being non-stop 'dangle berries', and people rattling tins in front of me - The 'tards fail to understand it offends me, but easily get offended when I tell them what they can do with their tins 

[STEMO]

Ignore it, I do.

What's CIN?

What's CIN?

Children in need......he's a bugger for doing that.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Its actually CAIN. Children allegedly in need. We see the genuinely desperate cases on our screens, but asll that money doesn't go to people like them. 

[STEMO]

At the risk of appearing to be a hard hearted bastid, I've just had enough of it all. I use to contribute, until I started getting the 'up the ante' phone calls, then I just cancelled the DD's.
Then there's the stories of the chairperson of a certain charity earning £100K+. Nah......no more.

It's all 'dangle berries'

[Mister Rog]

Charity Fatigue is quite a problem. I absolutely have it.

I don't mind legitimate tin rattlers too much, it's the chuggers that get my back up. They don't want 50p in a tin, they want £2 or more a month by D/D, knowing that you'll probably never cancel it or even forget what it is.

[TheBoy]

CIN and Comic Relief need to closed down, and their supporters on the cull list.

Its unfair on other, more worthy, charities who find it impossible to compete with this state sponsored crap

I wonder just how genuine the 'rattle tin brigade' really are.

All you need is a tin and a sticky label. Anyone can do it and pocket the cash.

I won't say we are off to carfest next year  then

I think all the idiots and do-gooders at work are genuine.  But too easily offended, and usually taken aback, esp because its for the darling little children, and in the current namby pamby pathetic society we live in today, its worse than drink driving to say anything bad about darling bastards.


Though it wouldn't matter what the charity was for, even if it was for proper, worthy charities like the hospice ones or other ones close to my heart, I'd still be angry. NO charity should get this unfair coverage over and above other charities :@

I refuse to go, simply because it means I would have to give money to CIN.


Yes, my principles are such that I'm prepared to cut of my nose to spite my face.

I have an angle grinder collecting dust... Proven to be reasonably effective at that particular task

in the past I was offered for a price charity tins of my choice, red roses or badges, bangles etc to sell. as long as I gave a measly 1% to the charity it was quite ok. I actually knew a couple that made a decent living from it.
