here/s another one // about 20minutes ago knock on door // would we be willing to pay a monthly sum to help people less fortunate in africa// did not state which part// i have helped with a little bit to africa since i was at school// began with spectacles and stamps then a sum of money to help an individual/ over the years larger events have been venued// but the same type of indevidual is still getting voted in to rule these countries and info you get from charities is they accept some of our funds are not gettin through due to corruption in those countries// but a percentage does which helps// then theres charities that once overheads are taken out only a fraction of our money/s left// so i/m sorry do not wish to offend other peoples principles// but have finally realised charity beguins at home/

Is it me,I find that courtesy seems to have gone now by a lot of car drivers, for instance. I had to go out in the car this morning and on the way home I had to stop for oncoming cars as I had a parked car my side. Two cars passed and neither driver acknowledged me. I carried on and had to stop again for the same reason. Three cars this time same story, the last car had an old lady driving, she looked about 150, nothing. I think she must have been frightened to take her hand off the steering wheel in case she lost control. What does it take to acknowledge someone? I don’t ask them to stop, jump out of their car and shake my hand, just a simple wave or nod of the head will do. It seems to be happening more these day’s. That’s my moan for today.
