Thats why I like this forum ,,, oh,,what was it yeah,, its the cosmopolitananologisnes,,nn,,ness

cheesy wotsits ?

It doesnt look like it from the photo

, thats brilliant, who thinks these things up

Ok, here's the update peeps, and this reflects some points some of you have made,,,,, took some time out at lunch time today and visited a British red cross facility in a neighbouring town, spoke to a very nice lady, she explained that the reason the charities collect cash is this-in an area of major disaster like Haiti a lot of infrastructure becomes non functioning, the charities make initial priorities like 'medical, water, food and sanitation' which they try to source as local as possible to that region, partly to localise revenue, in other words my tent wouldnt be shipped directly to Haiti-if it was sold in a 'charity shop' the cash would be used to purchase another tent (or other vital equipment)from a nearby area involved directly with the relief effort-in this case more than likely to be the USA (Haiti is approx' 600 miles off the Florida coast) the Red cross lady was good enough (after prompting from me) to contact someone within their retail section (the high st charity shops), who gave an estimate of £15-£20 for the tent, I kind of guessed at this figure anyway. I suppose 'every drip fills the bucket'. Just seems a 'faff' to convert an item into cash and back to an item again (with a probable loss in monetary terms) an 8 man brand new tent sold in Scotland for £20, 2 man tent bought in the USA for $19 and flown to Haiti, or $19 worth of clean drinking water-depends what way you look at it what a hot foxtrelle a very nice lady I spoke to, and brilliant in her explanation of 'how-it-works' anyhoo, 20 bucks is a lot when you've nothing !

People who 'give' are doing the right thing, its some of the people involved in the 'taking' that sucks, like I said its maybe just 'media dross' some investigating would make things clearer. But one thing I'm 100% sure of is that our treasury taxes all charitable donations !

The depressing thing is, your probably right sweet cheeks, I heard a report (might be a load of media dross)-that only 6pence out of every £1 donated to the Salvation Army actualy reaches a 'good cause'-the rest 94pence is used for admin and taxation

Thanks for your info guys, still no joy, you would have thought in this day and age this would have been an easy task-not so, all the big recognisable charities are looking for cold hard cash-it would be easier to give away uranium

I've tried and tried to find out how to donate a brand new 8 person tent to be sent to Haiti-with no joy so far , has anyone any info on how I could do this ?

A spokesman from the white house made this comment on Foamys progress Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know.

I'd leave it as it is, seen your pics, its a bonnie ride, like the new style headlight-get some black cable ties tho'

If its been laid up through the fine weather we've had of late (unless its garaged)it could just be rust patches on the brake discs, it seems from your post that its easing off a little ?
