What a FaNtAbUlOuS Idea.
Quote: Nat Wicks @ August 10 2010, 9:46 PM BSTI need my clothes for wearing, thankyou very much charities.
Exactly. I bet they won't like it when we are all wandering the earth with are wobblys on show. Like Simon Cowell. 
I have more wobblies than your average person, so I like to wear my enjtire wardrobe all at once. I wear the tshirts from when I was skinny as leg warmers.
I'm pissed off by shit adverts. There's no excuse- sort it out, you boobs.
Quote: Charley @ August 10 2010, 9:43 PM BSTI hate the bloody charities that keep leaving those bags for you to fill with clothes & shit.
First off they are huge. I don't even have enough clothes to fill them. Secondly they are blue in colour so no use for using as recycling bags.
Surely it's a restaurant rather than a shop or a store?

Why are they scams? They're just not charities! Give them a break. Charities get tons of stuff. People don't mind selling stuff on Ebay or whatever, but somehow it's wrong to give your stuff to somebody who's not a charity, and most people know aren't a charity.

Well, yes, yes, yes, I did consider that it wasn't quite right but the point is about the creeping Americanisation of England.
Like people going to the bar and saying 'Can I get two largers?' 'Yes, where do you want to get them from because it is certainly not here now f*ck off!'
'Regular fries' FFS. Does that mean you have them every day? Week? Or do you really mean medium as opposed the large or small?

I hate Americanization.

I scratched my head the first time someone at a UK pub asked me "Normal?" when I ordered a Guinness.
"As opposed to what?" I replied.

As opposed to that cold stuff I suppose. I always my Youngs as normal as opposed to Special.
(This refers to beer too in case anybody wondered)

Serves you right for ordering Guinness.
They were talking about the ice cold version.
The whole thing is an advertising ploy, bit like Magners which has now run its course so everyone is now 'told' to drink pear cider.

Someone to appeal to Lager louts.

They are scams because they purport to be charities when they are not. It's a deception, hence it's a scam.
