I love the concept of it, I'm not against charity and that shit, but it's not personally my thing.
I give to a few animal charities, since I prefer animals to people, but thats just me, I'm a miserable old bastard.
If the health wasn't such a major issue right now I would be going, but for me it would be the driving holiday aspect of it I'd be going for, if I raise a few quid for charity then meh, thats all good I guess, but it wouldn't be my deciding factor.
YBH, I have no idea how the legal aspects apply here, but I am reminded of a bus rally a few years back that was offering free rides on privately owned classic buses.
Each bus has it's own insurance, and public liability insurance, it's an ass on with the spec insurance, my bus has it, as do most others I know of.
Anyhow, a bus at said rally was pulling away and some old cow fell off the platform step.
Despite the bus being privately owned, and that vehice being insured for such eventualities, the woman sued the event organiser, and it ended that rally, and destroyed the organiser.
I know it's not the same thing as such, but the whole "where does liability lie" issue is a murky one that maybe does need looking in to further. Unless Phil has already done so?
