Just gave me an idea... how about sheffield forum biros ? now all the t shirts are gone. A.B.Yaffle 03-10-2005, 20:40 I never buy pens now. Charities must think we are really thick if they think giving us a free pen will make us more inclined to give to their particular cause. Don't they realise everyone already has a pen to fill the form in if they choose to? Any chance they will start sending out mobile phones for those of us who might prefer to pay by phone rather than cheque? ;) One charity even had the cheek to write in their begging-letter that if I didn't want to send them money I should send the pen back. No freepost address to send it to, of course! pete_fcs 03-10-2005, 21:04 it's from that new charity, "free pens for the poor" :hihi: saxon51 03-10-2005, 21:06 You will notice of course that there is just enough ink in them to fill the form in.:( pattricia 03-10-2005, 21:06 Originally posted by poppins Just gave me an idea... how about sheffield forum biros ? now all the t shirts are gone. Do I need a Sheffield Forum biro ? Not at this rate, they are showering down on me like confetti ! And for free. Why dont the charities just stop making them, and posting them out, and give the money to themselves.! beansforyou 03-10-2005, 21:38 an Internet forum (the paperless Future no less) supporting the use of the Biro :lol: Maybe if the charities didn't have these biros made, they could use the money towards...oh say, the charity? pauline 03-10-2005, 22:34 well said beans,ive had loveley diaries and 12p sent last week its time they took stock :),theyd be quids in saving on postage SatanInHeels 03-10-2005, 22:36 I got one last week.. only one though! |
