[Lois Pallister]

Hi guys,

Here is a link to a petition set up by a lady who has a plot on a site where half of the site was taken over by a neighbouring golf course! I'd like to see it as the petition with the most signatures by it's deadline, which is 20th May.

Perhaps you could make this a 'sticky' till then admin?

Hope you will all take a look and put your names to it:

There is no admin here, nor are there 'stickies', whatever the hell they
are...this is a newsgroup, not a website, google for newsgroups and you
might find out something.

Well so sorry to have offended you.
But if this newsgroup contains people who grow their own vegetables within the UK, some of whom do so on an allotment, I would have thought that this petition would be one they would want to put their name to.


Really didn't want to offend anyone

The truth is that the 'owners', they are the people who have been here since
Adam was in the Garden, don't like Garden Banter and you came via that site.

That's all there is to it :-((

In the words of Fraser, "You were doomed from the start"

(They don't like allotments either)

So why join in with the 'We don't like Garden Banter' group?

Does it matter? He is a gardener and interested in gardening. Where is the
fault there?

Petitions are a waste of time, they are usually ignored and consume the
organisers energy that would normally be used to organise demonstrations.

This petition is special though. Never seen this before - it comes
directly from number 10 and will get straight to Tony. Also it saves on
trees ... ;o)

There are some kooky petitions but many are serious, with lots of good
ideas that I wouldn't have thought of. The most popular at the present
time is one against vehicle tracking and road pricing policy, now with
well over 100,000 signatures and very rapidly increasing! However,
many other petitions relate to a wide range of everyday-life issues.
If you look at the list of "closed petitions" which have reached the
deadline that the originator of the petition applied, there are some
that have received feedback, presumably from the civil servants
associated with No 10. Whether any of this will make a difference to
government decisions is a moot point, but it is a new way (government
sanctioned) in which the strength of opinions of those people visiting
the website can be registered with the powers that be. Hopefully, that
can't be a bad thing, since most professions these days in many walks
of life (outwith government) require soliciting opinions and feedback
from those whom they serve as an essential part of their efficient
functioning. At least this site is transparent in showing how popular
is the support for each and every petition.

Whilst you are at it, for what good they are, replace the Royals with
Spandau Ballet.
