If you think that's mean BEagle, try this. In the mid 90's, I suggested that the points we could accumulate on out AMEX cards and which the MOD had disabled could be collected and given to a charity - my choice was the one which flew terminally ill children to Florida so they could go to Disneyland. I had contacted AMEX, they were agreeable to the suggestion - but the RAF said no. They gave extra admin as the reason. Even when I suggested that it could be done as a secondary duty to save the admin costs and volunteered myself , the answer was still no!
