I'd bring back early closing on Wednesday afternoons.

I'd make it compulsory for everyone to eat cake on Friday mornings.

Anyone caught speeding would be banned for 6 months (minimum) and then only be allowed to drive a robin reliant.

bananasinpjamas · 16/03/2011 15:23

I like the Friday morning rule.

bumpybecky - you've got my vote so far.

squeakytoy · 16/03/2011 15:27

are you bored Banana? Grin

Rhinestone · 16/03/2011 15:28

A lot better...

SlainteBooyFeckingHoo · 16/03/2011 15:28

i was thinking of posting a similar thread today. decided against it. it often ends up in a row.

bananasinpjamas · 16/03/2011 15:29

I am very bored, squeakytoy :D

Hence the controversial topic spam.

Slainte, how could anyone possibly object to eating cake on Fridays? it doesn't need to be a very big cake...

SlainteBooyFeckingHoo · 16/03/2011 15:32

very true becky. no-one could object to that!!

SlainteBooyFeckingHoo · 16/03/2011 15:32

would we be allowed to eat cake on other days aswell?

MissVerinder · 16/03/2011 15:34

I would ban frootshoots, sugar, offending people, Primark, Boden, Brown leather sofas, buying puppies, Greggs/Copelands, Asda, Tesco, Aldi, Lidl, Per Una, shop bought Birthday cakes, benefits (regardless of how much people might actually need them), private schools, public schools, state schools, coco pops, school nurses and lazy people. And open a Waitrose near my house. In California.

bumpybecky · 16/03/2011 15:36

of course :) just on Friday's you'd have to do it!

I've got visions of a bunch of particularly grumpy anarchists being dead rebellious and not eating friday cake despite the fact that they desperately want to as it's yummy [mwhahaha]

SlainteBooyFeckingHoo · 16/03/2011 15:37

they would all give in before the day was out!! Grin

SlainteBooyFeckingHoo · 16/03/2011 15:40

I'd put judge judy in charge of all family courts.

Rhinestone · 16/03/2011 15:41

No more overseas aid to countries with their own space programme.

Actual meaningful prison sentences which recognise that prison serves a useful purpose in keeping nasty people off our streets. If prisons are too overcrowded then we'll build more. A life sentence should mean that or it can't be called that.

A massive increase in the support we give to children in care including a free university place regardless of their qualifications.

A 'surrogate grandparent' programme to match lonely old people with needy young people, e.g. children in care, at risk children.

A tax on bankers' bonuses.

SlainteBooyFeckingHoo · 16/03/2011 15:41

actually no i wouldn't she has this weird idea that people should be married in order to have children.

CheerfulYank · 16/03/2011 15:56

Everything Rhinestone said. And I'd make it more profitable to work (any job) than it is to be on welfare. I know plenty of people who want to work but can live better on welfare.

Rhinestone · 16/03/2011 16:10

That's one vote then! Grin

mayorquimby · 16/03/2011 16:14

Into the ground.

MissVerinder · 16/03/2011 16:20

I vote Rhinestone.
