I don't like them, but I don't mind them from my elderly relatives who are just getting to grips with computers, especially as they seem to forget what they've done and send me a real one as well.

Believe it or not my agency sent me a large, tasty selection from the House of Chocolate.

Should they send them to India and just email me a picture instead?

That enables them to buy up our steel and motor industries and then come for further handouts to keep them running!

I love the people and the country, but this is getting silly!

Your with Elan also then! The thing is, how can a country justify having a space program yet still have areas of severe poverty? Earlier on in the year Brown announced that India would get £825m over the next 3 years from the UK in economic aid!

It's mean-ness on the part of the sender

IMHO

YMMV

I like sending and receiving cards and I like giving money to charity.
I don't see why they have to be mutually exclusive.
