I will assume that your deliberate attempt to avoid the subject of getting
off your arse and doing some honest charitable work yourself, means
that you are not the slightest bit interested in doing any hard work, but
you just prefer the easy option of making unsubstantiated allegations
from behind your firewall?

If you want to rail against organisations making enormous profits, you
could start with the energy companies.

Are you frightened of them?




I thought the Gardening Leave charity (www.gardeningleave.org/) was On
Topic for this newsgroup and actually seems very worthwhile but
unfortunately only up in the north at the moment. i would be happy to
volunteer time etc. to help if they started it up down here.

Any charity set up to help ex-servicemen has my vote anyway, having just
laid a wreath at the Northern Ireland Veterans Association annual service
at Alrewas nat. Arboretum last Saturday

Janet I have visited Alrewas quite a few times representing various ex
Service Associations I am involved with, and to me, the most "lump in the
throat" scene/site, is all the empty panels. Panels waiting for names to go
up.

And my Grandson has just joined the Royal Marine Band Service in the Corps
of Drums
