    Do you think Caithness is ready for Transvestites?

    Dinna let trivialities get in the way of your objectivity. You're the one with the power here, remember.

    Get your stick and keep poking the sleeping dog. Poke it hard, and often. OK, maybe the dog will object and try to bite you. So what? It can't justify sleeping for so long. Poke it 'til it reacts. Poke it 'til it squeals.

    In fact, poke it 'til it gives answers.

    Should have maybe reported it to the Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Metaphors too.

    I actually like that metaphor, even if you did over-egg it a bit.

    Can someone update me please? Didn't get the Courier this week, was there something in it about charity fiddlers getting captured?

    Nothing yet. Expected something when I got back but sadly no.

    Does the charities regulatory body set a time period by which a response should be given to an enquiry like his?

    I think it's 14 days, but I can't find the reference. Seeing as I've no proof of postage for the request of 5th July, I'll leave it till 14 days after I sent the recorded letter (with SAE enclosed - but no postal order). I assume that £2 postage and an A4 envelope will be enough to cover a copy of their constitution and accounts.

    The citizens of the county want to know what's going on with their cash, and bearing in mind yet another charity fundraising abuse in Wick (but no attendant hoo-haa yet) we might be better to hurry it along.

    Did you check online to see if the recorded delivery request was signed for? They might have refused it.

    Tubthumper - Glad to see that you have now sent a recorded delivery letter to WADF. Maybe you will get something back now.

    PS - Just had a thought...If you print the code on the retained part of the "signed for" label on your next post on this thread, then we can all check on the Post Office website to see if they (A. Carter?) have received and signed for it.

    The Archer - even though you're a newcomer, your point is a good 'un. After all, it's ALL those who have contributed to this enormous fund (and all the people of Wick who keep finding they've been duped out of charity donations) that demand to know what's going on with it.

    The number is AG911842355GB



    For any strangers viewing this thread, life is not always this complicated in Wick. Not all our charitable institutions make it difficult to discover what they're doing with our dosh!

    OK so the intended recipient was out today when it was delivered - hopefully they'll collect it from the PO tomorrow morning...

    Well well. If they had bin followin' this thread (apparently / allegedly like other members of the committee threatenin' ter go legal) they would have bin expectin' the letter.

    I think it's rather rude they weren't on the doorstep waitin' fer it.
