Post Rescue \"Guilt\" Money?

We know the RNLI don't/won't charge for rescues, and don't claim salvage. They don't want to put anyone off asking for help for financial reasons. Still, most of us if helped would slip a bob or two in the box, wouldn't we?
But how much? A pecentage of the true cost to the RNLI or a figure based on the value of your boat? How about a note or two depending on when you last called at a cash machine?
What would you give?

the more people to give as subscription - on DD or the way they ask where they get tax back ... the better .......

I spend little time in UK but pay the higher Governor fees as I think its i money well spent and well deserved ....
