On those charity appeal ads, why is it always mega rich people telling me I have to give up £8 a month for wells to be dug in Africa?

After you moneybags!

It wouldn't be so bad if you could be sure at least £7.50 of each 8 actually is spent on the wells and not dissipated in inflated management.

I've noticed over the last few years the charities who use the BBC Radio Four Appeals have hugely increased their demands, even allowing for inflation, from a couple of quid or so to that number with a 0 on the end. And they still preface it with "just".
