Are Brits too tight with their cash?

You might think children’s charities are the Government’s responsibility but the fact is they are not subsidised by the Government. There are so many cancer charities which could all be amalgamated to make them efficient. Cancer Research is one of the richest charities so I will not donate to them, preferring to give my money to small and sometimes local charities like my local children’s hospice which needs £3.5M a year to keep going. There are other ways of giving besides money, why not give time?

I do tip but never more that 10%. I’ve never been tipped for doing my job and I haven’t had huge bonuses either.

Sorry – I don’t think children are governments responsibility – I demand they are – They are certainly not mine. If not they are the responsibility of their parents – exactly as mine were. Certainly not my responsibility.

Cancer Research I believe is an effective charity because it does so much research – far more than smaller charities.

I give to animal charities – except the RSPCA – due it’s individual negative attitude towards racing greyhounds both past and present – so different from their attitude toward race horses. Animals do not have a voice – children get vast coverage on TV – animals do not. So animal only charities for me.

I actually work at least 40 hours a week finding homes for.retired racing greyhounds – working at the kennels – running websites – doing home inspections – and 18 hours running computer classes for OAPs (often repair their computers too)

Now what do you do???

This habit is disgusting have you never heard of germs!

God Bless you dear,
your example shows that health is a matter of luck!
I would like to add that you probably save more money to make this public, so many of us won’t appreciate an invitation at your dinner table.

I have a degree in Science and taught Biology – so I may have a better idea of germs than you. As I said I have never been ill in 25 years – rather proving that there are no germs left after washing.

Incidentally I used to do a class experiment on “washing up” germs (a classic one) by culturing the drying up cloth and dried plates – that shows conclusively that using a drying up cloth is detrimental to your health by transferring germs from cloth to ‘clean’ plate..

On a similar note – I was astounded at the vast increase in numbers of asthma sufferers when I started teaching – I postulated it was because of the sterile conditions children now live in (as the 100s of boy scouts I knew were far less prone to asthma)- Some twenty years later Government research confirmed my postulation – children are never exposed to natural occurring germs so never develop anti-bodies – so they are more unhealthy now.

Frankly my dear I wouldn’t invite you – plus 25 years of non illness is not luck but proof that I am healthy.
