About me

I'll be giving away money!!!!

I've had some engraving done on special pound coins - sixty of them. Every minute, I'll be giving a pound coin to a passerby (if there are any at 0700 in the morning!) with some engraving that should lead them to the following web address:

http://www.justgiving.com/PlinthPound/

Once there, they'll see that they are the recipient of a very special pound coin that came from the 4th plinth in Trafalgar Square! The website will ask them to give away a pound (just like me) although this time to AMREF, a fantastic African charity. It'll then ask them to pass their Plinth Pound on to someone else, either spending it, giving it in change or just giving it away - keeping it in circulation so that more people can be led to the website and perhaps give away a pound.

    What noisey places galleries would be if the art had to ask people to look at them.

    The art of verbal communication. Is it lost?

    Matt, for perseverance and sheer determination, when all the elements were against you, 10/10. But you didn't exactly draw in the crowds!! Well done, proud to know you! :-)

    What a novel way to raise money for a charity! Well done. It was a pity it rained so much!

    What a lovely idea. When I started to read, I thught 'Oh no, not another commercial plug' - perhaps for an engraving company?! Reading on, I think it's brilliant. I'll keep looking in my change for a plinthpound, and will look on the AMREF website.

    Hope you don't get pneumonia or trenchfoot

    Whilst what you are doing is nice but my motto is CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME!

    that's my idea!! well, not exactly the same. I thought, two fishing rods, one with pound note at end of line, the other with charity box, big board with words like LOVE, MONEY, etc moved around/painted during the hour
