Re: Red Cross

["Daniel Bowen" <dbowen@#DELETE#custard.net.au>]

Could be someone else. The one I saw was quite young, early 20's. Didn't
look like an ex-nun (not that I suppose I can tell!) Never looked scruffy;
just suspicious in manner. It would have been around early 1997.

Mind you, I've lost some of my sympathy with RVIB. They are the ones whose
telemarketers consistently ring up during dinner asking me to buy stuff. And
I'm pretty sure they passed my name and address onto other charities.
