After all, they're the ones whose egos are getting the stroking, they're the ones taking the time off work, away from the spouse and bin-lids etcetc. In short, they're the one having all the laughs while <I>we're</I> meant to not only pat them on the back but chuck money at them too!

I'm less charitable than you (ha ha) and a pet hate is those sponsored trips to walk across the Andes or whatever to raise money in aid of whatever. Actually it's a holiday somewhere they'd feel a little bit guilty going to otherwise, with an added glow. Those people doing the sponsored event you described are something else though! And the Cancer Research Fun Run I cycled past yesterday seemed a celebration and commemoration of family and friends lost as well as a fund-raiser. <BR/>Charities have had to think of more and more imaginitive ways to get money, it's difficult enough for them (as I well know). It totally p****s me off what a tight nation this seems to be. People seem to want more and more for less and less. Food is cheaper than ever, cars are cheaper than ever, taxes are lower than, well, ages. And don't get me started on housing!It's The Gardening Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10361965687187659683noreply@blogger.com
