Go on admit it; Who’s got one of those sodding red noses on their truck? I’m fed up of hearing about Comic Relief and all the crap tv that goes with it (I’m a miserable bugger) 
Yep. Bought one today, sticking it on my truck in the morning. 
Red nose day 1993 I was paid for having one by Fed Ex 
I spent the whole day driving round the Fed Ex depots in the midlands dressed as Batman with The Pink Panther and a nice young lady dressed as Andy Pandy collecting for charity, we raised 1300 quid
Charity starts at home I say
Someone peed me off a few years back during comic relief on the bridge at Burford. Stood in a highwaymans’ costume (local ghost story) knocking on windows rattling bucket etc. I said “no money” (which I hadn’t as I don’t night out). He tried to argue that “you must do” with which I told him to p off and annoy someone else…Made me feel better
i have not, and will give to aid another country.
charity begins at home.
i only give to the poppy appeal & help for heroes
Load of crap, comic relief is without doubt the most annoying event of the year. Posh celebrity ■■■■■ begging you for money you don’t have while a single mother down the street from you struggles to give her kids a square meal. This country has enough problems on its own without taking on the burden of Africa. I pay income tax and on that the government will ■■■■ a percentage up the wall in foreign aid that lets me sleep at night.
while comic relief has been in existance it has given £250mill to uk causes so it does leave some of the charity at home. Still find it annoying when collectors treat you like crap because you choose not to give.

Agree 100%
I also donate to the CF Trust, giving to other Countries is bollox, we should sort our own out first.
No red nose here. I’ll admit to a giant poppy covered in dead flies though…

Or in Japan ?
Not Comic relief (Children in need probably) but our firm tried charging us to use the truck wash one week at our quarry; I used the wash everyday for a week and refused point blank to “donate”. Why the hell should I pay to wash THEIR truck? 
Due to being screwed over and taxed way past my eyeballs in every way over many years by all governments,
I no longer have a ‘disposable’ income!!
Which bit of ’ this country’s finished / ruined’ does lala tellyland not understand, and we’re all broke??
It annoys me the way a lot of these Z list so called celebrities do crazy things for “charidee”. You usually find they’ve either got a new book/film/tv series etc coming out or they’d like a new book/film etc.
If they were so bothered about the poor in Africa, they’d put their hands in their own pockets & let us have our usual night’s telly.
BTW, like Muckyway, I’m also a miserable old sod…and ,as a true Yorkshireman, I’m as tight as a duck’s bum! 
As my dear old Dad always used to say," Ne’er do owt for nowt & if tha does owt for nowt, do it for thissen"

I rather give it for those people in Japan which really have no influence about what happens than to those in Africa that for years are just asking for help instead doing something to improve their life…
Of course by saying that I may be called racist because I say what I think and its not allowed in any democratic & free country… 
Ill sponsor people to do something hard like a fat bloke running a marathon but that’s it, some woman knocked on my door last summer asking me to sponsor her to do a parachute jump I told her where to go.

I do parachute and probably she was doing one of the charity tandem jumps ( http://www.headcornparachuteclub.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=57:charity&catid=35&Itemid=68 ) so it is kind of running a marathon by fat bloke. Still classified as sport. And believe me it has some kind of thrill at the door of caravan so she maybe tried to do something she afraid and charity was her motivation

sorry, but even japan can go whistle dixie.
they are a stronger economy than ours.
I hate those charity ads where “Ahmed walks 20miles each day for water”. MOVE ■■■■■■ HOUSE! 
Another charity pet hate of mine is Chuggers= (Charity Muggers-students in hi-viz+clipboard+stupid grin) that interrupt me and the Mrs in the street asking for my bank details to save the ■■■■■■ (or something equally pointless)
Oh yes and if they ain’t got the money or food to feed their kids why don’t they stop having kids ffs.
