Clueless in most things
I'm having a day off so catching up with stuff at home, listening to the Chilcott debate in the background and Knock knock. A man said he was from a local hospice charity for kids and sorry to disturb me.
I said I appreciate the work you do but I never give to charities as most spend most of their money on running costs and a smaller percentage on the people the donation was meant for. I again thanked him for his efforts but thank you no.
He said the government had reduced their funding by ?3.5 million and they needed to knock on peoples doors for money. I again said I appreciated his efforts but if I wanted him to knock at my door I would have invited him. He said "you don't have a sign on your door saying not to knock" I pointed out that I do not have any sign on my door saying please do knock and annoy me either
I also mentioned we do have a security entry door system that is meant to keep people out who have not been invited I again thanked him for his time and he again started ranting about it's the governments fault of losing ?3.5 million in donations?? It would not take too much imagination to believe he was a union rep at one stage in his life by his manner.
The same in the town centre, they almost form a defence line to corral and corner you into emotional blackmail and contribution. in 2014 more than 195,289 charities in UK raised close to ?80billion a year and many were charities that did the same exact thing
Yes I am old, yes I am grumpy but bloody chuggers get on my tits
