I also choose who I donate to and support. Had no idea i was illegal to "rattle tins" to catch peoples atention -seems a bit extreme! My last "active" donation was in Accy Library for 3 poppies in October, and my usual Unicef Xmas cards.

Here in Italy they can't come door to door unless you've agreed to a donation beforehand over the phone, which means constant calls where I say "no" and am frequently made to feel mean. I have a new tactic which is to speak to them in English and pretend I can't understand!
