Its not intended as flame bait but I'm sure some moral sabers will be shaken 
in my direction.

I know its a terrible thing to say but I'm a bit sick to death of Charity's 
nearly every shop doorway in Walsall has someone collecting for something 
outside it.

While I feel sorry for the people & animals they represent I just want to get 
on with shopping its bad enough fighting the crowds without having a 
collection boxes shoved up your nose every two minutes.
