The collection point in Bude for clothes, blankets, nappies, that sort of thing, has been overwhelmed by the generosity of local people. On Saturday we had a coffee-and-cake morning that raised £2000 in just over a couple of hours. Collection centres are telling us what items they need most and what isn't quite so useful. One thing I find a bit tacky is the offer of £350 per month to take in refugees. I don't think that most British people need that kind of "bribe." I suppose we could give the money to the victims for them to buy some clothes and toys for their kids. We've just given our Nectar points up!
