Generic 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.
