CrazyDave Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Loads of tractors with generators strapped to the back doing an unnecessary journey escorted by police cars and bikes. A great night had by all, but where is the tipping point? PS - were they all having their diesel dipped to check it for road use? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't answer the question I asked though does it? Also. Would they have made more mi eh if they just donated the fuel costs themselves?

Yes I think it does. You put your twenty in. Twenty that charity wouldn’t have otherwise received. So not quite unnecessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopek Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Most Charity events raise more than they cost to run because they raise awareness of a situation not necessarily previously noticed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question was as a biosphere nation where is the cutoff point for what we do for fun and what we do to be biosphere? I am not sure this event and burning shedloads of red diesel on the roads ties with being a biosphere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you want to drill down some more so you can find something else to be miserable about” Maybe you should have asked before you put your twenty quid in if it bothers you that much.

Read the comment I was replying to ffs If it doesn’t bother you why are you making such a big fuss about it? They have just been past us somewhat later than advertised on their flyer. Perhaps I should kick off about that. Anyway good on you for making your donation. Even if you didn’t know what it was for.
