I think you need to redraft your petition to specify a percentage increase in Income Tax that will pay for this. That way you may get more than the 3 votes that you currently have. On the other hand, it could put off even those three dreamers. I guess that's just a risk that you will have to take.

Putting gas in the same ducts as electric and telecoms is an explosive combination.

Don't worry - the water and sewerage will douse any explosion.

Just think when someone puts a JCB through that accidently. You lose electricity, gas, telephone, water supply, and sewerage all in one fell swoop.

But there wouldn't be any JCB's digging trenches . Unless they belonged to friends of a foreign power, in which case expect a co-ordinated attack.

Mayhem!

Time to buy shares in Portaloo perhaps.

anynomous --

not particularly

the plan is the plan

as prev said this does not help real petitions that change things

this is a private company investing its own money !!!!

Only if there's more than one leak. (think about it)

Well apparently leaks happen over the phone all the time.
