Ian, your point about high salaries in some charities is well taken. When I was corresponding with funding charities during my time running Ellenroad I was struck by the easy life and good conditions many of my correspondents had. One had his office on a golf course and guess what he did for most of the year..... Running a charity can be very lucrative.
As an aside, I can remember when the adverts for football pools had to include the amount of the pot expended to run the pool. As I remember it was usually about 27%. What a good idea if all charities had to be equally transparent!
