"Honeypot" van

[scotty]

Saw a panel van recently on the redbridge bypass, a children's charity of some kind, signwriting read "HONEYPOT". One child, one chance.

 

Does this strike anybody else as wildly inappropriate??

One childhood not 'one child'.

it was more the name Honeypot, I thought that was used as a term to describe a method of catching child groomers. Might be thinking of honeytrap on reflection, I'm sure the charity is admirable.

[bridge too far]

My brother does a huge amount of work for this charity. When our mother died, Honeypot was the charity we asked for donations to, instead of flowers. My brother and I went to the Honeypot house in the New Forest (just) to see where they provide holidays and short breaks for children from disadvantaged families, or who are handicapped in some way or who are perhaps child carers for their parents.

 

Inspiring place and well worth anyone's support.

 

(I know, the OP was a bit of a s****** but it's a good chance to promote this worthwhile cause).

the OP wasnt intended to be derogatory about the charity in any way. Myself, a mate and his wife were out in my van, she noticed the Honeypot van, did a doubletake and commented that the name seemed very unfortunate, thats all there was to it. The charity seems very worthwhile, I looked it up myself later.

LOL B, thought you knew better. ;-)

 

The 'cap in hand' days are well behind us thankfully. Although I do love this sector of charities, respite for carers is so valuable.

 

In fact 'respite' is so important in so many people's lives should be at the forefront of people's thoughts when considering the planned utbacks. Can anyone who went today truly imagine what it would be like living without the simple pleasures like that in their lives, well it's simple and it's not really that expensve for society to pay for to maintain. Tell your MP.
