Heh. Then again, digging him up after he died and executing him seems a bit OTT with hindsight. _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.

I would like to see more, cheaper and more reliable train services so I can get home quickly and cheaply.
Doesn't seem to be heading in that direction much though.
A limit on the times that pensioners are allowed out to do shopping (i.e. not during lunchtimes or at the weekend).
If the shops are doing badly enough then sales can start in December so it's really up to the consumer to hold their nerve until the shops crack. Doesn't look like thats going to happen this year though. Plus, shopping in the January sales is as bad or even worse than the pre-Christmas crush anyway.

The only thing I'd change is to have no shops open on Boxing Day like it used to be and no ads on telly before 1st December. When my wife worked at Debenhams and had to go in on Boxing Day it was a real pain for both of us.

I would change the fact that Christmas "stuff" and Christmas music seems to start in October, or even September in some shops. There should be industry "guidance" stating that it should only go out after the first Monday in December.
Councils should be banned from putting Christmas decorations up too early. Councils who then don't put up decorations or have rubbish ones should be named and shamed.
The phrases "Winterval", "Winter celebrations" and "Happy Holidays" should be banned from public use. It's Christmas so you should say so.
People who are not essential workers should not have to work on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day or Boxing Day. In fact large stores etc should be banned from opening on these days. I predict this will do wonders for family relations.
I'm sure I'll think of more later, but that'll do for now.

OAP curfews. Now that is a cracking idea.

No no no, can of worms mate - then tbf you'd be obliged to deal with the d1ckheads that stop right in front of you in the city centre, the chuggers (charity muggers), the credit card and mobile phone people, people with trolleys and buggys (sometimes both)... The local economy would probably collapse _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:
