Identifying Genuine Collectors tonight

[OldBlueLady]

I know some of you raised concerns about identifying people who were acting on behalf of the Trust in shaking buckets, well, unfortunately, we've not been able to get t-shirts sorted out in time - but Paul Yeomanson has done a fantastic job on producing identifying labels on lanyards.

I hope that will put people's minds at rest.

Good stuff, cheer for doing that. I shall stick some wonga in when I see anyone who looks like they're not nipping up The Last Post with it...

Good question, I would imagine it will be "Shrimpers Trust" - I will check that for you.

Oh and welcome to the board!

 

[Suecha]

Thanks for that

 

[OldBlueLady]

Thanks for that

No problem and yes any cheques should be payable to "Shrimpers Trust".

[bilbyboy]

I will blindfold them or slap them if they look LOL.

 

[OldBlueLady]

Seems like some t-shirts will be in evidence after all! ;)

 

[please delete my account]

Just to clarify, you can identify a genuine collector by: -

He will be drunk and slightly swaying from side to side
He will most likely be fairly abusive towards anyone within earshot, regardless of whether you contribute or not
On examination, his crotch will show signs of yellow stains
There will be a strong smell of urine and possibly faeces
He will have attracted the attention of nearby police
He will not be holding a bucket, but a black, plastic bin bag.

Please Give Generously.
