Sorry, a mite off topic, but on another forum I visit, someone was just complaining about cake sales for charity, and in particular about someone giving her a flyer for a cake sale in aid of a dementia charity!
It would be so much better for everyone's health, this person piously argued, if instead of making dreadful cakes to make everyone fat and very likely predispose them to dementia anyway (she argued) people would tot up the cost of the ingredients and donate that, instead.
I ask you!
I sent a fairly tart reply, pointing out that a few charity cakes were hardly going to make any difference in the great scheme of things.
