Patronage of Charities

I nominate Victoria Beckham for School of Needlework Patron. It might be that more youth of today just might want to learn such a skill because of her success in the fashion world. Love them or loathe them - they know how to make money and run a business through sheer hard work and dedication. PS Do you not know what philanthropical work Richard Branson - to name but one - does? Why do we have an attitude of "slap them down" towards successful people. I am sure that if they took notice of brickbats, they wouldn't even get up in the morning.

you mean the Richard Branson who is hiving off large chunks of the NHS ,or Dyson who farms all his work out to China ? No thanks,I dont know whay its necessary to have "patrons" in this day and age ...just a successful leader who runs the charity well and doesn't take massive sums of cash out foor him/herself would suit me fine

(in fact I'm not even sure that it is a word...)

'Whilstsoever' eh? Now there's a word you don't hear/see very often!

Why would Civil Servants be out of a job?

Only 25 out of about 500 but I am sure more will follow
