Can't remember the last time I saw an advert that wasn't for a charity!
Perhaps if you spent less on advertising, the children would be drinking clean water.
I don't mind charities, I just don't need to see it every 10 minutes.
Or spend less on crap. Every animal charity begging advert says you'll get a cuddly toy, regular update letters, photos, etc etc. How about spending all of that money on the animals instead rather than tat nobody wants?Perhaps if you spent less on advertising, the children would be drinking clean water.

I see the latest money raising tactic is targeting the older generations asking them to leave a sum of money to the charity in their will. I bet they manage to convince some people to leave substantial sums to them.
Scary and so cynical isn't it ?When my Mum went we arranged to have her old phone number and mail transferred to us. During the 3 months the redirection was on I think there were at least half a dozen begging letters, But the phone calls. Oh my days the amount we got. Around November they all started again and the RSPCA were the worst. I ended up threatening them through the press office contact sheets that I would stand outside their shops in the town Centre handing out flyers explaining how they exploit elderly for money. I was assured that the number would be removed and they explained it away on their "3rd party fundraisers being responsible" In the end they did remove the number but only after further pressure via facebook and the afore mentioned flyers outside their shop.on one day - To which they were daft enough to ring the police about who were intelligent enough to realise I was not harming anyone
Funnily enough I don't see RSPCA Chuggers so maybe that's a path that is too fraught even for them

Salvation Army, RNLI, RSPB, Save the Children, Oxfam etc etc.
I started returning them to sender, Mam didn't live there etc, and requiring them to remove her from their database.
It took many such returned letters over two years before they have finally stopped.
There's a blinds company on at the moment. The (strangley milfy) woman walks back n forth clicking her fingers whilst the background changes to different versions of blinds.
If it was just once or twice, fair enough but she goes through about 8 variants! click, click click click click click click
I suspect it's because I hate people who click their fingers!

TSB cartoon ad with nauseatingly 'perfect' people voiced over in a Scots accent. For the avoidance of offence to our Caledonian members, what annoys me apart from the sugary sweet characters in the ad, is the two decades old assumption (based on some survey from the nineties) that we trust the Scots accent above all other UK accents in financial matters. That may well have been the case but Salmond and Sturgeon have put the mokkers on trust for me.
