Dimond Geezer Posted 21 May, 2012 Share Posted 21 May, 2012 Fair play to them, especially as the monies raised is going to charity, but why anyone would pay 1200 quid for a photo is beyond me:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dune Posted 21 May, 2012 Share Posted 21 May, 2012 If they are doing it for charity I applaud them. I'd do the same thing because it'd give me much more pleasure to help out a good cause than to keep it as a momento. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aintforever Posted 21 May, 2012 Share Posted 21 May, 2012 As long as they are giving all the money to charity it's OK. If not they are c*nts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint in Paradise Posted 21 May, 2012 Share Posted 21 May, 2012 In the BBC article:- "In the listing, viewed by more than 1,500 people, Mr Wolley told potential bidders it was "Your chance to own a piece of history," and promised 10% of the sale price would be donated to a school refurbishment programme in Uganda." Wow how generous is that? A whole 10% http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18142358 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
