I think they should all, at least, get up at 7am, shower, dress up smart and stand out in their roads (upright, shoulders back, smiling) from 7.30am until 8.30am, saluting every worker that goes past. Then, come 5.30pm, until at least 7pm, they should do the same, this time clapping them home again.

At the very least it'd make sure those ones that keep workers awake until 3-4-5am with shouting and parties would have to go to bed earlier to get up in time for saluting duties!

You sleep-walking again PN?

lol, I've heard about your 'rep' carolt. None of those games with me, dear. I wish my PM inbox to remain unsullied!

Ugh, you are creepy.

I think what I had in mind for you, Harry was painful, and certainly not administered by me.

At last.

The most stunning and intelligent post I have ever read on these forums.

Really, I thought it was one of the shallowest and least thought-out I'd read.

And believe me, there is some competition on these forums.

I rather liked that.

I'll put that high on my list of creative suggestions.

My favourite one, though, by a long chalk, was (I think?) ruggedtoasts's suggestion of pairing up all unemployed people with an employed person, so every time the unemployed person wanted to buy something with 'his' benefits, he'd take the employed one to the shop and watch him buy it for him. To get his cash out of the machine, and hand it over.

Save all that palaver with taxes and stuff - ideally they could live next door, one working, one staying at home watching daytime telly. Maybe the working one could wave every morning as he set off for work at the other one, still in his 'jamas' (well, probably still asleep, I suppose...), and wave as he went past in the evening. I have a vague feeling ruggedtoast's (?) original suggestion involved handcuffing the 2 together, just to ram the point home, but I may have been mistaken about that...

He still seems very much a DD clone to me.

Maybe you should handcuff yourselves together, saluting, jeering, clapping, spitting etc as appropriate, throughout the remaining ups and downs of your human existance
