Marie Curie Doorstop Salesmen

Last night after 8pm I was disturbed by Marie Curie chuggers. Please do not call round late in the evening, as this to me is anti social behaviour. I told him in no uncertain terms that I talle the words of my father when he died, after loosing his wife some 15 years earlier at a young age. Do no give money to a cancer charity, it killed your mother and …
In my words, if they can afford to employ students, they do not need my money.

    Marie Curie chuggers going round my estate today too. You'd think they would have learned better after all the bad publicity they got in 2012 for employing street chuggers. Perhaps they think sending people round door-to-door is less irritating, but it isn't.

    A shame, because Marie Curie do excellent work, but no reputable charity should use this shady method of fundraising.
