Spotted in the Head Of Steam last night (pub one of three for me) – a new style of hi-rise charity box. In a wooden frame there were five perspex boxes all labelled with their respective charities. The HoS said they would double any money given, very generous I thought. But also – what fun is this: you can see into the box, offering real time judgement on what charities are the favourite.
The boxes were laid out as follows:
OXFAM
GREENPEACE
SHELTER
MEDECIN SANS FRONTIERS
CHRISTIAN AID
Medecin Sand Frontier was winning by quite a long shot. Greenpeace was surprisingly last in this race. What does this say about Head Of Steam clientelle? Absolutely nothing!
