That is sort of my point
'I'm having fun, give me money' works less for me than 'I'm not having fun, but will push myself to do something if you give me money'. The volunteer lifeboat crew going out in a force 9 gale gets my pounds; not a comedy actor in a tutu or a group on a pub crawl wearing fancy dress.

Even the RNLI will hold a fete now and again to raise awareness.

Fair point.
it is just the smug we are so wacky but it is all for charity attitude that bugs me. No it isn't. They want to do it. I wouldn't mind so much if they were honest about it.
