These Radio Frequency Identifi cation tags (RFID) automatically identify and track the movement of attached objects. Had a new passport recently? Hundreds of passports used to be ‘lost in the post’. Now when hand delivered, the RFID chip it contains confi rms to the Passport Offi ce it has reached its correct destination. This is just one marketing technique I reveal in a talk called ‘Savvy Shopping’ I give to raise funds for the East Anglian Air ambulance. Other popular talks include ‘Behind the Bathroom Door’ (a look at hygiene through the ages) and ‘Knickers! The History of underwear’. All talks come with props which often provoke humour and memories. Who remembers wearing a Liberty Bodice before the days of central heating? And as a country child did you have a toilet in the garden? I have been giving talks to WIs, Inner Wheel, Rotary and similar groups for six years and have a portfolio of half a dozen topics. Groups vary greatly, from one with a few ladies, none under 80, and several of whom fell asleep during my talk, to large, lively branches with over 60 men and women who participate with great enthusiasm. Whatever money received, I Gift Aid to the East Anglian Air Ambulance, a vital, life-saving charity. Hopefully you will never need their services, but I know if you do, they will come up trumps. Thanks to the generosity of numerous East Anglian groups, I have been able to add several thousand pounds to this charity’s coffers.
