After much work, the people of the UK have finished their final preparations for this charity event.  Months of collecting pennies for people dressed as teddies holding buckets, and working out how to text the smallest donation that is socially acceptable has come to a dramatic finish tonight.

People genuinely still don’t think the money goes to charity, but love watching the numbers go up, and every year beat last years imaginary target.  Meanwhile Paddy Power is taking bets at 12/5 on Pudsey being the next target of Operation Yewtree.
