The young people who sell 'charity' magazines outside Superdrug on Saturdays work for a business, not a charity.


The claim that profits go to somehow address knife crime issues is nonsense devised to pull at heart strings. If it were actually a charity they would be asking for Direct Debit sign-ups which would mean the organisation could predict its' income - like a real charity - but they don't because whoever is employing them wants cash. In return for a really poor magazine.


The kids doing the chugging are not to blame, they've been lied to, so be nice but do say "no".

do you have fact to support that? what is the business called? do you know they don't make charitable donations?

my teen was involved in a scheme like that - money went as payment to the sellers and initiatives to help teens - that was in Central.


I can ask what it was called but imagine it's the same type of thing

That they look like a charity but are in fact a business - I asked the group leader who told me that - and have read about these businesses before, after being ripped off by similar outfit up in central a few years ago.


Real charities are regulated, there are rules about where the money goes. I'm sure there are people, especially the kids, who are doing it for all the right reasons. But the point stands. They seem to be a charity but they're not.

    • Trump suffers from opening his mouth before putting his brain in gear. Needs to take a lesson in statesmanship from Carney, slow well thought out responses to media questions. How about Carney for President of the US as well. That should upset some and more.
    • As every day goes by, it looks increasingly likely that Trump is going to sell Ukraine down the river. It's a re-run of Chamberlain and Hitler over Czechoslovakia. Trump talks of re-allocating "assets" which means conceding assets of Ukraine to Putin  and of putting in peace-keeping forces into Ukraine  to "guarantee" security. History tells us that peace-keeping forces are ineffective. Remember Bosnia & Hertzogovinia in 1996. Remember the peace keepers on the Golan Heights. They disappeared without firing a shot when Serbia and Israel took military action. It will be the same in Ukraine. Give it five years (or less) and Russia will extend its land grab.  Sadly, history repeats itself because the appeasers fail to grasp the realities. Just pray that The Donald becomes the fifth before too long.  
    • Niko completed a third job for me now. A leaking tap that was oozing from everywhere. I called Niko in the morning, showed him a recording of the problem,  and he was over with a new tap, fitted within the hour. Job done, perfect! I know I can always rely on Niko. He is my go to plumber.
    • Do you have a monopoly game to give away? Just thoughts I’d try before buying new. thank you!
