Ah, I thought there might be something like HMV holding it on trust for the charity or something.

Oh dear. :|

It's reet though mummy. They said the other day when they announced they were going to start accepting gift tokens again that they're also now paying charity sales too.

Interesting. I wonder what the mechanism is that has enabled Deloitte to give that assurance.

The thought of 24 years worth of grieving and campaigning directed toward them I'd guess.

From what I remember from Equity, they could have done, but would have needed to keep the money separate, and probably in a separate account. Seems highly unlikely.

Does it? It seems like a damn good idea to me precisely because of what's happened.

Actually I hadn't thought that the way a charity single is sold is a lot different to normal sales. Perhaps they did? I'm pretty sure they could have done, and as you say, would be a damn good idea.

Before that game I saw Liverpool at three to one to win and thought "Free money! They're bound to win!" This is why I don't gamble!
