Are you insane? If you do actually watch the night, half of the videos they show you are the ones which show you how the money has been spent, and you see new hospitals, ambulances and stuff with Comic Relief written all over them. And it's not the 'same sh*t' its just the same problem in a different place. Africa is quite big y'know, one years worth of donations is not going to sort the whole problem. And quite frankly if you don't get some sort of reaction from those videos, then theres something wrong with you. You say also you'll donate your money to the local hospice woman instead of CR, but we both know that's b*llocks don't we?
thanks for jumping to conclusions and being able to know what i do and dont do from one post. good stuff.
i have already given the hospice a few quid the last time i was in town. my gran used to do a lot for the hospice, and as she was getting iller and iller they returned the favour. now that she cant do stuff anymore (alzhimers, parkinsons etc) i feel obliged to give a little. i have good reason too.
honestly, i simply dont care for CR anymore, and yes your right im not watching the night, it does nothing for me now. i see the same stuff on all those "spend ?2 a month to save a child" campaigns plastered all over the Sky channels, its just not interesting to watch or even worth watching. yes i realise they are showing images of money being spent wisely, good on them. it still doesnt motivate me much.
africa really should be allowed to dip into their coal, oil and gas supplies.... getting cheap reliable power to that lot will do them wonders. having them use solar panels and wind turbines (some of the most expensive, unreliabe and inefficent forms of power) is just ridiculous.
call me a **** if you will, it wont matter one jot. i have my reasons, and im sticking to them.
