Has anyone any idea how many individuals in the UK made donations to the Tsunami Earthquake appeal ? Must have been hundreds of thousands if not millions.

A few evenings ago I settled down with a generous measure of the amber liquid and set about sorting through my mail. Imagine my surprise when on opening one envelope I extracted a sheet of A4 with the letter heading " Disasters Emergency Committee ".

The kind gentleman who signed the letter was thanking me for my donation to the aforementioned appeal ( I hasten to add that it was a small sum ). Even mentioned how the dosh was being spent.

Can you imagine the time and effort to send out a million thank you letters ?

Just wondered if any of you guys out there have received similar from the GE organisation ?
