Orca is that a new slang word for B*ll*cks ?

Orca Wed 20-Mar-13 13:26:10

How will that get rid of them? I though you were talking tumbrils.

Anne58 Wed 20-Mar-13 12:34:38

Epping.

Take their money from them which belongs to the taxpayers and tell them to get a job.

How?

HUNTERF Wed 20-Mar-13 10:42:14

If you mean the queen and the hangers on they should be got rid of.

I don't think they are the "so called Royal Family" Frank I think you'll find they actually are the Royal family.

Hope this helps.

Some of us giftaid our donations so the charity can claim the tax relief.

HUNTERF Wed 20-Mar-13 09:04:44

Well I think CRUK spends money in a far better way than the government supporting rubbish people like the so called Royal Family

You're an inspiration to us all Frank

HUNTERF Tue 19-Mar-13 12:31:04

Oh I have also instructed CRUK just to send me an automatic e mail in respect of all my donations to save postage.

Frank

Galen Tue 19-Mar-13 12:28:38

Thought so!

HUNTERF Tue 19-Mar-13 12:28:19

I also gift aid my monthly donations.

Frank

HUNTERF Tue 19-Mar-13 12:27:36

Yes I have gift aided it.

Frank

Galen Tue 19-Mar-13 12:14:50

Have you gift aided itso that you can claim the tax relief?

Ana Tue 19-Mar-13 11:38:56

Good thinking about the postage, Frank! wink

HUNTERF Tue 19-Mar-13 11:38:15

CRUK is my favourite charity. I purchased the ticket from somebody I know in my local pub.
I have sent the money over the internet to save the postage.
I donate monthly.

Who says God doesn't have a sense of humour? Good move Frank, though.Maybe you could actually add a bit to the £20 as you are a higher rate tax payer?

Ana Tue 19-Mar-13 11:16:33

You're all heart, Frank! grin

HUNTERF Tue 19-Mar-13 11:14:20

I am going to send the money to Cancer Research UK and let them claim some of my tax back on it.
