    Given that financial sales reps must declare their % commissions...

    ....shouldn't charities, who typically spend less than 10% of the funds raised on directly helping their beneficiaries, also be obliged to declare that percentage when chugging?

    I adopt a simple rule:

    Chugging = too much money therefore cross it off the list and give to a different charity.

        Nothing wrong with chugging. Its the people that fall for it which is annoying.

          Loads wrong with it and that's not including the facts it often takes the charity over a year of your direct debit donations before they make any money and chuggers are annoying idiots who take up valuable London pavement space.

            Likewise, the amount of charities that are so desperately in need of cash, that they are "forced" to spend a shedload of money on expensive TV advertising for "just two pounds a month"

              I worked in an office that had chuggers outside, they had groups to the left and right of the door on a pedestrianized road.

              I would get stopped at least twice a day and I swear I was close to punching them at times. Especially the ones that jumped in front of you waving their arms shouting "hey there". They just really annoyed the feck out of me.

                What was the last multi-billion scale misseling scandal involving charities? Money given to charities are gone from the person who gave them, where as with financial sales reps the illusion is that the money are invested and will return back with hefty profits - totally different situation.

                  And are you going to offer any evidence for that assertion, or is it just some utter horsetulip you heard off a bloke in the pub?

                    Maybe he meant that only those charities, who typically spend less than 10% ... should be required to declare it. If they spend 11%, they're fine.
