Hi jdenny,

I am glad to hear that you are OK...............I hope the same goes for friends and family................

The British Government pledged £15 million......................within a few days the British people had raised £25 million.....................so the British Government pledged £50 million................it will get bigger...........a LOT bigger.

What really p1$$es me off is that we have a moderately large Army, Navy and Air Force.............what are they doing?.............£50million is no good if it comes 4 weeks later?...........the "civilised" (rich) nations have to be able to deliver in 72 hours, NOT 28 days?

OK, 48 hour combat rations are not the finest food............but they do keep people alive..........an army tent is not the best accommodation...............

My point is we need people on the ground NOW!

God bless you all
