At 7pm tonight then again at 8.30pm I answered the door to 2 seperate guys asking for money each month towards the RSPCA. They both had on blue tabards with RSPCA across the front but I just found it strange that someone would call round after dark wanting you to commit to a charity. Are they serious or are they dodgy, did anyone else have them at the door? S5 area.

Did they have any ID? Perhaps you could contact a local office and enquire to see if they were legit.

To save you looking ..here is their phone number 0114 2727542 :thumbsup:

it does seem strange...Where abouts in S5 was it.

Yes I had them at my door recently.
I asked if it was a weekly collection and the guy said no it was to be debited from my bank account.

I didn't go for it though as I regularly collect items which I then take to various charity shops and over the years have donated hundreds of pounds to good causes so am happy enough to keep on doing things my own way.

I might be imagining this, but isn't it illegal to collect door-to-door?

To save any further comment, I rang the RSPCA and they said that "We have had door to door collectors working in S5" so it looks likely that it was genuine ;)
