Ian Jelf ) gurgled happily, sounding much like
they were saying : Oh dear! Heard a suggestion that "Cutty Sark for Maritime Greenwich" be renamed "Burnt Oak for Maritime Greenwich"! chuckles Good to see that the joke machine is as fast as ever... |

It is a terrible business, though. Good news that so much of the most valuable material was out of the hull at the time - rather like Pearl Harbour, or the boathouse fire at my old college, either lucky or suspicious. If it does turn out to have been arson, and they catch the guys who did it, i have a few yards of rope that are knocking about looking for something to do ... In the meantime, if anyone's feeling generous: http://www.justgiving.com/cuttysarkfire tom -- the logical extension of a zero-infinity nightmare topology |

You might prefer to go via: https://www.cafonline.org/default.aspx?page=6860 .... at least when they charge, any excess over actual costs is used for charitable purposes. It is not clear if they do take costs for one-off donations... they do for some "accounts". Both sites do allow Gift Aid tax relief to be added and passed on to the charity. |

It's a hell of a lot cheaper for the charity if you do it that way than if you pay by cash or cheque - or indeed anything other than directly wiring the money into their bank account. Especially since JustGiving sorts out the Gift Aid tax rebate, which most people who donate in cash obviously can't be bothered to do. -- John Band john at johnband dot org www.johnband.org |
