I once gave a man a fishing rod. He chased me down the street with it the ungrateful ****. Maybe it’s just me but that advert doesn’t work in Salford.
Those charity collectors are often paid sales people and not volunteers for those charities Basically at one point theynadvertised posts and you got paid £15 for every 3 people who signed up to give a quid a month etc. Am sure it's more now These people knocking on doors etc are not like the little old lady with a salvation army tub freezing stood outside Tesco That said the chief executive for the Sally army is on about 600k pa
I don't disagree but the OP was asking for ideas. I think the other thing is there's loads of brilliant charities that go under the radar - so it's good for people to publicise them.
Looking for ideas? Here's one. Next time your behind an old grannie in the queue at Tesco's at Christmas, and they've got a load of cheapie foods (not if they're clearly bloody loaded), pay their bill while they're still packing their bags. Not talking about a £100 tab, it won't be that high anyway.
I did something similar a while back. An old woman was short on her bill so I did the right thing and helped her put it all back.
I fairly often give a few quid to those I think are needy . Then again , sometimes I see people clearly taking th3 piss and it puts me off .
Someone asked me for cash once. Said they were autistic and stranded from home. He hit the jackpot there as my nephew's autistic so I felt really sorry for him and gave him a few quid. **** pulled the same stroke about six weeks later. I felt like a right idiot....<
