Is it me being a miserable old git as each year BBC promote this,we have very rich personalities begging joe public for money.My view is these people are in a lot of cases paid thousands of pounds a week,stop begging off the public by making them feel somehow guilty and donate out of your own pockets,because you can well afford it. :evil:

What's even worse is when they use Lewis Hamilton or Jensen Button.....neither pay any tax in this country and make a plea to the public for help....genuinely f*cks me off.

I stopped watching TV years ago and last Sept cancelled my licence as I realised the only thing I watched on terrestrial channels was Wimbledon.
