    I can think of few better ways to run the country than appointing the Nice People to govern as a ruling council. Put PN in charge of cutting public spending, deficit sorted in 3 months I reckon.

    I've just seen the NPs government of Britain, revealed to me in a dream. :cool:
    Move capital to Hertfordshire.
    High Speed Trains to black country/west country.
    Abolish taxation for insomniac broadband owners.
    Ban mushrooms/make mushrooms the national dish.
    Declare smallholdings to be tax havens.
    National toll motorway system to bypass all existing motorways with NPs to have toll-free access as mystery motorway testers.
    Unemployed to earn benefits by helping with home renovations to local worthy individuals.
    Move House of lords to English Channel, then let go.
    Local libraries to be built on every street corner.
    All old music groups from the 70s/80s forbidden to disband.
    Motor racing on every TV channel.
    :D

    I think I now see what Winston Churchill was getting at when he said "democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others".

    How observant lir. I am so out of touch with the nice people that it's not so easy to suddenly dip into the conversation though. I know I should make more effort. :o

    Glad to see you all continuing the thread. :A
