SIR – People will realise how boring television can be with repeats and adverts, between December 14 and 19 I added together all the begging pleas.
Sponsor a donkey, Battersea Dogs Home, Cats Protection, Guide Dogs for the Blind, Water Aid, helping African children to see again, sponsor a snow leopard – all these adverts are screened around Christmas, as if the season isn’t expensive enough.

The most expensive advert was for the Salvation Army – “Just give £19”.
There’s no need for all these silly adverts, which add up to £196 per month.
