Question of the Week suggestions
Each week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Pulls your heart strings
I was at the school play at my daughter's primary school a few years back when the headteacher came on at the end and said how they were twinned with another school in Sri Lanka which had being washed away in the 2004 tsunami.
So the school had a big fundraising and managed to send off £1000 which at the time was about 250,000 rupees and in Sri Lanka that was as much money as it sounds. The Sri Lankan headteacher managed to rebuild the full school with it and would write back twice a week about how the school had usable classrooms and he'd bought new desks and books and so on.
What brings a lump to your throat? No points for deep-throat stories.

Just out of curiosity...
...did they raise money for your daughter's school after the Hull floods of 2007?
