From the clothes collectors that turn out to be companies and not charities? I have tried to trace a couple of them and they use bogus LTD company names that have either NEVER traded or ceased trading. I would urge you all not to give to these profiteers and give to bonafide charities instead

Worse case projection 40% of the inhabitants will capture swine flu - so on an analogous time as the final public of Britains would possibly no longer desire this infomormation sending in the path of the submit there'll be communities of those that do. As no longer each physique reads a newspaper or watches television there'll be some people who dont see the information and the thank you to ward off it. additionally no longer each physique can study/comprehend English, without being political this is a fact - their perhaps telephone numbers on the thank you to get information for none English audio device.

I only ever give to my local charity shop and if I need a sack I go down to the shop and they are very happy to give me one.
I never donate via the doorstep as:
a)you never know whos collecting it.
b)someone else could nick the bag.
c)you could even get wild animals ripping it apart and then making a mess for you to clean up.
d)another charity collecting could even steal a bag not ment for them (it has happend).

He may well have an old hat, but lets hope he doesn't give it to the wrong company eh? Give it to a charity. Rule to follow, if you haven't heard of them, don't give to them.

Yes lots of them. If you havn't heard of them or they are vague (eg clothes for the third world) Then they are probably fake con merchants.
