i hate this charity crap.
if there are "children in need" then raise taxes and pay for whatever it is they need, instead of all this nonsense.

I wonder if the so called "celebs" still charge for their services ,like Sir Tel did,until he was outed ;)
He has hosted the BBC's Children In Need appeal for 26 years, helping to raise hundreds of millions of pounds for good causes.
But Sir Terry Wogan is now at the centre of controversy over the fact that he is the only celebrity to be paid for his part in the appeal.
Documents released under the Freedom of Information Act disclose that while his co-presenters give their time for free, 68-year-old Sir Terry receives £1,300 an hour to front the charity television extravaganza.
Sir Terry has been paid for his efforts since the appeal - described by the BBC as the most important event on its calendar - began in 1980.
In 2005, the Irishman - who earns £800,000 a year from his Radio 2 show - picked up £9,065 for his seven-hour stint as Children In Need's main presenter.
Yet his co-stars Natasha Kaplinsky, Eamonn Holmes and Fearne Cotton do not receive a penny. All the musical acts that appear also waive appearance fees.
There is no suggestion that Sir Terry, who owns a mansion near Windsor and a house in France, receives any money intended for charity projects, nor that he has ever claimed to be hosting the show for free.
In the past, Sir Terry has made a show of donating personal items, such as his tie, to highest bidders
