OT: A bit like SPAM, but for charity - Tube Relief 2005

Hello to the regulars, non-regulars, and lurkers of this group,

Some time towards the end of the month (the date isn't being publicised for
obvious reasons), I'm going to be joining a group of people with far too
little sanity for their own good in an attempt to travel around all 275 tube
stations of the London underground network in one day - starting at Dawn's
crack, and hopefully catching the last train out in the early hours of the
morning.

We're doing this in aid of the London Bombings Relief charitable fund, set
up by Mayor Ken Livingstone to help the victims of the attack, and their
families, and as an act of defiance and solidarity, putting out the message
"We are not afraid".

I've set up a sponsorship page here at www.justgiving.com/thefatboy, where
you can sponsor me online - please give as little or large as you can
afford - and if you're a UK taxpayer an extra 28% will be added to your
donation by some sort of government tax relief covenant-type scheme.

Wish me luck, and please, give what you can. You can remain anonymous if
you like.

Cheers,

Am I tax payer as a student? I didn't really understand the question so I
just said I wasn't a tax payer :-/

I'd make sure you don't sit next to any Pakis carrying rucksacks or shifty
looking Brazilian geezers if I were you though.

There is a disclaimer (t's + c's) on there that you have to agree to that
basically says that you should take independent advice before declaring
yourself a UK taxpayer. In other words, if you're on shitloads of benefits
and earning £200k/year, then it's worth saying "no", rather than getting the
charity an extra few quid as it might get you into a spot of bother with the
IR. At least that's how I read it anyway. As a student you'd probably be
ok to say "yes", as when you are working you have to pay tax. Not to worry
anyway!

I certainly won't be running down any platforms, that's for sure!

Well as long as you get the money, I would donate more but I have about £9
in my current account now due to A level festivities

I hope you make £400
