It's a nice gesture and all but how does anyone know that the money wi end up with the girl, does anyone even know who she is? Does the family even want her to be given a large sum of money they've not asked for? I would feel uncomfortable accepting that for my kids.

He says if he can’t get in touch with them he will donate to a suitable charity. I would guess if they do receive notification of the money raised they can donate it to a worthy cause themselves if they don’t wish to accept it.

Nicer than grown men laughing at children being insulted by brain dead pricks. I’m not really over thinking it much beyond that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wales is technically a principality not a country and the Ceremonial Head of State for the Principality is the Prince of Wales, Prince William will become that person as soon as his Gran dies, it really won't go down well if he's supporting England then He's currently the Duke of Cambridge, so of course he will cheer England. I imagine he'd cheer Wales as well if he was watching them. After all, its just part of England isn't it, like Yorkshire or Cornwall 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard accounts from people at work though and it would stress me out going on a sun holiday and not being able to get a lounger in the hotel! I only had to get involved once. We went to once of the Canary Islands in August, the place was rammed and much more people than sun beds by the pool. First day and nowhere at all for the family to pitch themselves. I had to get up about 6:30, sneak out and grab a couple otherwise literally no where to sit all day. I hated it in one sense, but in another way I was was able to grab a coffee and chill watching the resort slowly wake up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I've stopped in an all German hotel which is weird, they do have some resorts of their own, balaman in mallorca for example They do do it, there were a lot of retirees there who looked like they go on holiday more than be at home, up very early, put the towel out, go to breakfast, start sunbathing, we'd go out for the day get back at 7pm and they'd still be in the exact same spot, if you're that committed to the lounger then fair play to you Did see it cause trouble when I was a kid at a mixed hotel in Turkey, it was the brits who caused the trouble, embarrassing cockney guy making war references Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 The worst are the ones that get up early (or very late before they go to sleep), reserve a load of sun beds and don’t use them, or appear about 2pm for an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's easy, you just find the lounger you like best and if someone has already taken it, just; Go to the person you've flipped, kneel down next to them, gently slap them on the cheek whilst saying "If I ever see you on MY lounger again... I'll tell my mom on you" Whilst softly chewing on a cocktail stick. It works for me every time because when they see my mom is 48st and has a right mouth on her, they just tend to back down straight away. Laps top tip of the day.

I don't think I'm over thinking it by 2,000 miles. But a little thought should be taken with these things. If I'm going to hand over cash to a small child who has been ridiculed on telly, you know, I would actually like the money to go to her. Everytime anything happens these days there seems to be a giving fund set up by random people and many have proved to be people on the make.

It was supposed to be in the £500 range but got the internet treatment. The post also says that it will be charity if they don't want it. You either trust the person when you had over a fiver or you dont. Large donations require more due diligence I agree but this isn't one of those, it's a runaway mass donation. If he takes the money and runs, may 4chan rain down on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are, then yes, you should probably look in to the detail and have a good think. If you’re not actually thinking of actually handing over your money, then it’s just a nice end to a story about negative people not beating positive people.
