Moderators AY Mod Posted April 22, 2020 Author Moderators Share Posted April 22, 2020 Just now, Buhar said: if my number comes up can I swap my prize for a virtual cake party with Phil? I'm sure if you're offering cake rather than taking any off him you will find him obliging. If anyone doesn't particularly want any of the prizes there will be other ways to give at the weekend. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted April 22, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 22, 2020 Thankyou for using PayPal. My UK card acquirers can be a bit funny about payments, but PayPal works every time. I left UK 16 years ago, but the NHS is still in my mind a lot! 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 96701 Posted April 22, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 22, 2020 The last raffle I won was a meat platter at a Working Men's Club in Nelson in the seventies. It's about time I won another one. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence intended, it's been a bit frantic here this afternoon. Cheers Andy I'm sure you have got a lot on with it all. Hope you do well with it On on a serious note throughout the 50s to the early 90s this country spent billions on civil defence mainly on a fairly pointless scheme to restore normal life after all out nuclear was around the country there were food and material stores and many huge underground bunkers that amongst other things contained hospitals but these were for a very select few. The point is that these civil defence plans also included plans and that would have included stores for an emergency such as this Its absolutely vital at this moment that schemes such as this are supported at the moment as the NHS needs them badly at the moment However once this is done there should be an in depth public enquiry to find out why civil defence has been so neglected over the last thirty years 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted April 23, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 23, 2020 I know I am now going to be the most reviled person on RMWeb, but, why all the willy waving by those of you taking part, do we really need to know? Are you also going to tell us which other charities you support? Or maybe I'm missing something? Mike. Taking nothing away from Andy's superb initiative and efforts. 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
