I hate these ■■■■■■■■■ 
Walking through Stratford today with the missus (kids with in laws as it’s our anniversary 
), mid conversation I hear “I’m being polite here you rude obnoxious people!” Turns out some bloke was trying to interrupt us to tell us about helping some sick kids and we never took any notice. I didn’t need to tell this one where to go as my Mrs did rather a good on her own by telling him it was rude to interrupt people who were talking. Said chugger wasn’t satisfied so had to call out to us “just selfish, selfish couple…”
I thanked him for the compliment by the way.
Just to add, why do the RNLI collect in Oxfordshire? It’s a landlocked county, unless I’ve missed a lifeboat sailing down the Oxford to Banbury Canal. 
Didn’t it become an offence for tin rattlers to accost you? All they’re allowed to do is stand there. Report them to the charity?
I pretend I’m on the phone sometimes because they are a right pain.
We had similar in London a couple of years ago. All of a sudden we get the do gooding enthusiastic “hey folks if you could just stop for a minute so I can talk about…” We ignored him so he follows us, saying “what if I told you you could help starving children today…ok guys thanks for ignoring starving children…such nice people.”
I pay taxes for them to be sent to Africa as aid, and have my tv licence money wasted on Children in Need and Comic Relief. Go ■■■■ yourselves with a bayonet.
The dictators and leaders of these so called poor countries syphon off charity money or it goes " missing " , to fund their private jets and lavish lifestyle.
Millions went astray from Band Aid Feed the world give a jet or two to Idi and his mates.
All these pathetic tv adverts that show a big eyed kid with tears , some mug will fall for that and cough up their life savings .
In the past we’ve had plastics sacks left on our door step asking us to fill it with old clothes to help the starving children of the world.
With due acknowledgement to Newmercman, anybody who fits my old clothes ain’t starving!
Fat Controller:
anybody who fits my old clothes ain’t starving!
