Who doesn’t love finding money? I found a ten pence piece the other day and felt over the moon! But at the same time, if I were to lose ten pence I don’t think I’d notice; the person whose ten pence I found obviously didn’t. So when I opened a paper today and was asked to donate £2 a month to “Give water. Give life” I was pretty shocked. Water is something we take for granted.
