Being a charitable being
I am sorting out a new idea to raise money for charities.

I call it "Pound A Round", where a pub/club/other drinking establishment has a charity box on the bar, and with every round bought, the buyer pops a pound into the box.

What say ye, and who can assist with such things*?

*charity boxes (maybe you know someone who makes them?), pubs (maybe you know a landlord or two?), etc.

There is a website currently under development, I can gaz the link if required.

A pound seems a bit steep
Normal people might balk at coughing up "a quid a flid".

It is
all a matter of rhyme to help get the point across.

I won't be expecting a quid, but any spare change really.

Can't see it working
The pub trade is on its knees at the moment, the price of beer is sky-high and the customers haven't got any money/not willing to spend.

Nice idea though.

I don't know...
After a couple of pints, I'm up for anything.

Why not try it?

Depends on the charity though. If it's the Sally Army, where 90% goes on uniforms, I say fuck 'em.

/arbitrary percentage thing, but I get hacked off with charity begging letters that send you a pen as an incentive to fill the form in. I have hundreds of fucking pens, spend your money on what you're about and you might get something out of me...
