Children Only In Need Today

[allenlondon]

Are children only in need today?

I support charities, but find the idea of a ‘day’ for children in need very dubious. What about yesterday, and tomorrow?

[tiggerblue10]

The charity helps children all year round with the funds it collects.

[Prudie]

I see it as a day solely to collect money for the year, not a day, the only day, to care about children in need. But then you see lots of our traditions and causes differently to me.

[johnny.5]

yes allen
they are only in need today and after today they will be in want

[allenlondon]

Bit like Christmas, johnny. Be kind, be generous, at Christmas.

Then forgetallaboutit...

Like all 'days' it's used as a focal point and a reminder, like Armistice Day for example.

There is the added bonus of giving virtual people the chance to signal as well.

There's so much you don't understand, Allen.

I hope a life size Pudsey doesnt knock on yer door...

so everything could be continuous
very puritan
but that means no church on sunday ( every day that is!)
and no collecting pensions on thursday

and NOT eccles 3 1- 8 ( every activity under heaven has a season)

I'm guessing young white lives don't matter, children in in is for all children, not for a specific group.

I won't be donating.

I take it you’re an American, ag, given your absence of irony.

Oi! Don't bring Americans into this...plenty of us understand irony. Or at least try to.
