Beat me to it, granjura. Those charities have been pre-approved by others of their own circle. oooh! A goldfinch. yes, well, where was I... My small town nearby doesn't have any beggars, but we do have a Big Issue seller. Some days I have to practically queue up to buy a magazine. I like to do the odd bit to help out charities, but I do like to chop and change, and it often depends on which family member is sickest, so when I donated a lot of plants to the village show I was quite irked when I found that I didn't quite approve of the charity the money was going to. I didn't disapprove, it's just that there were others in greater need of funds. It's my own fault for not getting more involved I suppose.
