Children in need

So as the top 5% of earners I imagine we'll all be giving generously?

Speak for yourself. I'm firmly in the bottom 1% of earners at the moment.

[Moscow Mule]

Yes, they will have all of the coppers I collect in the top of my desk for the purpose each year. I might even get the missus to bake something for the cake sale...

[RichardCranium]

Despite my straightened circumstances, I promise to give them no less than I have done in previous years.

Bugger all.

[Zippy]

Still better than me. I'm not even an earner.....

WHS

[TykeMerc]

Begathons annoy me so I'll give the same I have in previous years.

Naff all...

Bah humbug and bollards to the "celebrity fundraisers", as we all know these begathons are about exposure for celebs.

I give to charities that I believe in (a local hospice helped a neighbour die with dignity) and there are a couple of others, beyond those I ignore all tin rattlers.

1. Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
   
2. Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
   
3. But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
   
4. That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
   

- Matthew, Chapter 6 v. 1 - 4

not a big fan of these things, I set up standing orders to the charities I wish to support and give monthly. No fuss, no bother and no need for the BBC to make several hours of television from it.

[OwlHoot]

I missed the deadline for my timesheet last week. So I'm in the bottom 0% of earners until next monday.
