I don't watch much TV but can't help noticing on the little I do the almost unending, constant marketing of high pressure professional quality " charity " appeals. For goodness sake, how much of the cash raised by these organisations is being spent on producing and televising these ads and what sort of salaries and expenses do the executives enjoy. Yes I'm a sceptical, grumpy old guy, however I'll continue to support local groups whom I know and where I know the volunteers are more likely to be out of pocket than to even break even.
Rant over. Merry Christmas all.
