Flood Support

[matt674]

Appararently GHMC - Ethiopia's main TV network, have just started a 24 hour tele-thon to raise money for the poor and needy in Yorkshire. Rumour has it they stand to raise somewhere in the region of £15-£20 to more than treble the current amount of money raised here in the UK........

scary to say it but i'm with boldie on this one, the only thing most people have lost in this flood have been material possessions that can easily be replaced - most of the countries we've been supplying aid to in recent years, their occupants wonder from one day to the next whether there will be a next day or not.

It could be a long wait - there are people who are yet to move back into their homes from the floods in Carlisle two and a half years ago.

I really do feel for them. OK them who have money in the bank will be fine, but them poor buggers who are not so fortunate, it must be terrible.

So what would you do?

Leave a mother and child on the street?

You have to deal with situation at hand. I'm sure she now regrets not paying the insurance. I don't give a toss if it costs you, me or anyone else a few quid in premiums or tax, these people need looking after. I'm not suggesting that you buy her a new telly, just that she needs a clean, dry place to live.

good post !!!!
