If you have spare cash, why not adopt a turnip for only £1.50 a month?

It will write you a nice letter in return and remember you in its prayers every night.

PM me for details.

Royal British Legion and the RAF Benevolent Fund excepted.

It starts all doleful and full of doom, gloom and pathos but when they get to the 'give us yer money' the voice rises and is full of hope. cussing:
