permission, forgiveness, and the circled ©

This falls into two rather neat categories - things that are mine, and things that are not mine. Let's deal with the "not mine" items first.

THIS SITE HAS ONE GOAL AND ONE GOAL ONLY: TO OFFER YOU THE BEST OF THE NET IN TERMS OF TRAVEL AND SHOPPING INFO LINKS. THERE'S ALSO SOME STUFF ON THE NAME 'MEYBOOM' (FOR THE FEW WHO MAY BE INTERESTED!).

SOME PHOTOS AND REGISTERED SYMBOLS, TRADEMARKS, AND LOGOS USED ARE THE FULL PROPERTY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS (THIS INCLUDES US, OF COURSE) AND ARE USED SIMPLY TO IDENTIFY PRODUCTS AND/OR FOR DEMONSTRATION PURPOSES. NO OTHER INTENT IS STRESSED OR IMPLIED.

How does this help meijboom.co.uk? It's all about karma, man...give it to the universe and the universe gives it back....

I have helped the homeless, given riding lessons to the handicapped, supported organizations like Greenpeace, National Geographic Society, Amnesty, I have donated a dozen leather collars and leashes to the local animal shelter so pups can go home with a nice leash and collar....and EVERY page on meijboom.co.uk is free! I'm not paid a penny..... so..... if you can give... GIVE.....

Some ideas where to donate, in no particular order:

Cancer Research UK www.cancerresearchuk.org/donate - Cancer Research UK relies on people like you to help them fund vital work. More people are surviving cancer than ever before. You can donate online through their secure online service using your credit or debit card. If you prefer, you can set up a Direct Debit online.

The Prostate Cancer Charity www.prostate-cancer.org.uk - Did you know that the ProstateCancer Charity can reclaim the tax from the Inland Revenue on all donations? So hurry up and help them!

Against Breast Cancer www.aabc.org.uk/donate - Whilst donating why not visit their online shop or learn more about the organisation and breast cancer

One World Wildlife www.oneworldwildlife.org/donate - Another worthy cause where you can donate online. The site also specifies what other means there are if you're concerned about giving out your financials on the web.

The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds www.rspb.org.uk/support - Every penny donated will be wisely invested in the future of birds and other wildlife. Donate money here.

The Wildlife Trusts www.wildlifetrusts.org - The Wildlife Trusts partnership is the UK's leading conservation charity exclusively dedicated to wildlife.
