I saw oxfam doing that down my street
yesterday.

Get to fuck I say. If I want to donate, I will. Get the fuck off my doorstep.

Chugged, in my own home. :(

i was asked by a chugger in the street the other day.
I said no thanks, he asks why. I said he was getting paid for chugging more than i do for my work, and I didn't give to charities that worked like that.



yeah, this story went nowhere pretty damn quickly.

Quite.
Its a horrible practise. what's worse is the sanctimony of the smug cunts they employ to do it.

'What do you mean you don't want to help the poor little children?'
'Fuck right off.'
Repeat ad nausea.

i don't see how 50p helps when it's put in a pot being held by someone on 7 quid an hour

people collecting actual cash, are rarely paid
direct debits work because it gives the charity a chance to build relationship with, and to involve you in other types of fundraising that they couldn't have done if you weren't signed up.

Even at 50p a month, and 7 quid an hour, you'll have paid for that chugger in 14 months, most people don't cancel within 2 years, so you're in profit for 8 months even before you think about gift aid.

Remotely operated fire.
The medieval had the right idea.

A boiling vat of oil above your doorstep.....

they dont come knocking at my door
but between the free newspapers and the chuggers leaving the house between 4 and 7 is a right pain in the arse

nah
sign up, pay the direct debit for 6 months, then cancel. The company paying the chugger then has to pay the charity for the value of your donations up to 2 years.
