    I support guide dogs for the blind and many other charities – I have done The Nightingale Walk 4 times – 40 miles along the Thames tow-path – it nearly kills you! – my pic is in the pub and so are the dogs we have bought – you can google it and my local pub in London, which, funnily enough is called The Nightingale!

    UNICEF… well if its good enough for Robbie Williams!!! (he is an ambassador for them)Seriously they are the only charity to guarantee 80% of all donations are used with the people who need it, not on admin publicity etc

    In this town the charity collectors can be a real pain in the butt……..if they’re not walking up to you and hasseling you in the street then they are standing in shop doorways aiming at your ribs with their collection pots………

    I do give to charities…………..I give when I want to, when I can and when I haven’t got some numpty thinkin their pressure is gonnna make me empty my purse.

    its dogs that are trained to be deaf peoples ears, alert them to alarms, traffic, door bells, any sound really, for both the safety and convenience and life enhancment of deaf people

    I think they’re known as helping dogs rather than guide dogs, and helping dogs are trained for all sorts of disabilities.
