i,m watching the BBC1 Show tonight
Children in Need
are any of you to
its a great show & very Rewarding

Hmmm I've got mixed feelings about this.

Someone I worked with, her sister worked for a company supplying hospitals and specialist establishments with equipment for sensory rooms for example.

They would as you can imagine get lots of orders from hospitals who had funding from Children In Need. Apparently though, due to the funding rules, the cost had to come to a certain amount, or the funding wouldn't be made available. Not their fault, they wanted to save Children In Need from making such expenditure, but the tossers in charge would not listen. It was then a known thing, that they would be supplying equipment, costing 00's, which that hospital would then just throw in the back of a storeroom and never use, sometimes even thrown away brand new. The waste was extraordinary.......and everyone who got to know this stopped supporting Children In Need.

We hear in local papers and such, children giving up £3 of their pocket money, saying they want to help other kids less fortunate. Then it gets wasted like this.

another guilt trip

done my bit gave a fiver at work bottled out of dressing up though

I've got it on in the background .. always a few classic moments from these type of shows.

Strike one ... double camel toe from those Hollyoaks girls singing Queen!

Wogan works pretty hard for that charity. I know there is always a degree of wastage when it comes to charities. I think this is the problem when they get quite big and there is not one person to keep an eye on every penny. Overall though i think its a nice thing for the BBC to do. Maybe if they care that much they would donate something from the licence fee.
