Today?s dilemma of the non MBK variety

Today I was again interrupted going about my own way at lunchtime by a chugger, I had to tell him to go away three times before he went.

So I resolved today never to give any money to a charity who use chuggers; there?s plenty of deserving causes, some national and some mostly local who already have my support. I?ll build up my own blocked list as I get pestered which does happen quite a bit working up in London.

As I was typing this I felt a sense of guilt and I am being a right see you next Thursday by making this decision but as charity is a personal choice, I?ve made my choice.

Am I doing the right thing?
