[QUOTE="oobuc5, post: 155353, member: 29349"] ok there is a lot of friction on charities and some of it with good reason ,i was offered a 4x4 brand new for £3000 so i said whats the catch he said they are painted orange and have an obscure name but the running gear is vw as it goes they were made for a very big charity and something went wrong and they ended up on the market .no i did not buy it. a bloke was sent out to africa, he worked for the same charity his brief was to buy enough trucks to carry the aid ,so a govenment repersentativ sells him trucks covescated from drug runners ,they were in an impound /short one is anything that was any good was removed by the locals, the cost then was appx 1 million to fix them up, a german mfg said they would have supplied new trucks for less. I believe the law /regs on fund raisers is that if they raised say £1000 they would only have to give £100 to charity the other £900 disapears in expences / running costs /cars /houses/pensions whatever,pperhaps thats why they can afford to pay students minium wages to get credit card donations: that said some charities do good work look at this one ,it has helped a lot of people !
