So... I'll kick in 10p per flight to never see it again if everyone else will?
(usual disclaimer that I'm very happy to give money to charity and regularly do so, but not in response to attempts to leverage a very tired captive audience after a long flight).
Either way, my happiness that £20m is being given to a worthwhile charity greatly outweighs my sympathy for you having to hear an announcement while tired...
I never complain about charities/organisations for trying to raise money to help people, no matter how irritating their techniques may be. If anyone is to blame it's the general public for needing to be pestered to donate instead of doing it themselves!
