Agreed. I used to do the annual charity walk for the local paper, but when I was going round the office with my sponsorship form a lot of people would put down a £5 donation instead of, say, 50p per mile. And a lot of them would give me the money on the spot, which left me wondering why I had to do the bloody walk at all.
You wouldn't have been there to stop them. You'd have been called up.

Nowerdays money like this goes direct to who you're sponsering or held. places like gofundme.com justgiving.com etc...
I was going to sponer someone going up the the helecopter pad of teh royal london hospital as she was affraid of heights, quite a few people did spons er her but she never did it and now doesnlt live in london. I said I'd dona te provided I had exclusive use of a youtube video I'd do of the event, but it never never happened, I don;t think these funding sites give money back if the event doesn't take place.
I'd have broken my leg, or joined up with the Germans.
Delibratly or would this have been another one of yuor door walking into 'accidents' why not refuse to wear clothes you donlt need them and niether should the army navy or air force.
I think that they have higher standards.

I have just shown you up to be a liar. Again. Wanker.
It is a disturbed mind that made the statements. We all know that you are close to being sectioned. Do you always reply to a poster who keeps showing you up as being a wanker, Hucker? Well, do you, wanker?

They need to save their breath for words like 'elevator' and 'apartment' rather than simply saying 'lift' and 'flat'.

Apartment and flat are both wrong. They aren't apart, and they aren't f= lat.

"Lift" and "elevator" are equally misleading...the device in question goes down as well as up....
"Oh, in that case: 'a hapartment'"....r
Flat is OK because it's a description of an area you own or rent in a block. It's flat it means you don't have the right or ownership of the units above or below you, so on one level i.e flat.
Flat :- having a level surface; without raised areas or indentations.
If you have a flat on two floors it is more correctly describe as a maisonette but some use this term if the front door is on a differnet floor to your dwelling.
as for apartment I'd prefer compartment but american have condos too.
I thought it was un not une.
An apartment (American English), flat (British English) or unit (Australian English) is a self-contained housing unit (a type of residential real estate) that occupies only part of a building, generally on a single level.

My understanding, which could well be incorrect, is that a maisonette has an exit door direct to the street, or at least outside, rather than to a common entrance.
I lived in a maisonette some years ago. From the outside, each block of four looked like a pair of ordinary semi detached houses. The two front doors were access to the upper floor maisonettes, via a staircase. Side doors were access to the ground floor maisonettes. The lower pair therefore had their 'front door' (at the side) on the same level as their living accommodation.
