You see I had the same problem as you when I was young, which resulted in me also being brought up by a very nice lady. There was a difference though; my nice lady would never have encouraged me to scrounge for her benefit or for anybody elses. She certainly wouldn't have expected me to utilise a news group, which has obviously been set up to discuss the forthcoming Jamboree, to try such stupid methods of begging. Get lost scrounger; it's obvious to all that the address given is your own. No nice lady would want her address published in this manner.
