 does anyone else find charity adverts on tv insanely annoying? The "splitverts" are bad enough half at the beginning of the advert break, with a reprise at the end, but the cherry on the cake is the amounts of money they are asking for. - Its been steadily increasing over the last 6 months. To begin with it was 1 or 2 quid a month. That shot up to a fiver for most of them, and Ive seen one asking for 7 quid this weekend. | ||

My System: 90 cm dish + two LNB 13/19 E 90 cm dish + one LNB 30 W Humax 5400 .. Oh and cable for Mrs Marts (smilie here) | Being run like a business. Financial forcasting. Worst still is when one visits a UK cathedral only to be confronted with a sign suggesting 7 quid as a reasonable contribution to enter ... the house of God

My System: 60cm dish, dual LNB, Topfield TF5010PVR | My home town is Wells, Somerset. When, rarely these days, I go home I like to pop into the cathedral, but always refuse to pay an admission fee. Didn't some Christian throw money changers out of a religious house? | ||
