five years agoGeneric charitable contributions?

In the rather dodgy movie rental shop down Botley road (that shall remain nameless) there is a rusty cigar tin with a hole crudely carved into the lid. A sign on the side affixed with aging sellotape is a sign in wobbly marker pen that reads "AFRICA APPEAL, PLEASE GIVE GENEROUSLY". I was curious.

Me: Are you collecting for anything in particular in Africa?

Shop lady: Its not meeh personahlly, its the manageh!

Me: hehe I didnt imagine it would be you personally

Shop lady: I think its just moneeh to send to Africa in geeneral or summ'et

Shop man (briefly looks up from a childs action comic, to offer a perl of wisdom on the matter): Its for the poor! thats all I know

And that was the end of the matter.
