If people were retested at periods perhaps they could get grades where better drivers were allowed to go faster and the speed limits could mostly be all variable depending who was around. Mostly on big roads rather than little roads where you can't see and have dodgey corners, although as a driver my mantra is "blue lines good, yellow lines bad" which may be not a shared opinion.
Lines on maps. Blue lines are good roads i.e. motorways. Yellow lines are small, rubbish roads. In many places, even red and green lines are rubbish roads.
I'm so with you on puff pastry. Can we just ban Greggs bakers and their ilk? That would significantly decrease the sum total of nasty greasy puff pastry across the country. Some sort of bakery license could be introduced, to be awarded upon the productino of a decent short crust.
I have less of an opinion on driving stuff as I don't drive. And for some demented reason I don't hate "Jump Around" despite the fact it was overplayed at me in every rock night around throughout my late teens.
I still don't agree with you about the smoking ban :) I love the fact I don't stink after a night out, I still get all giddy when I wake up the morning after and don't want to vomit upon inhaling my own hair odour.
I'm not sure you get to be PM but definitely Minister of Pies and Birthdays.
If I was in charge I would probably spend too long angsting and not get anything done. If only everything in life were as simple as baked goods.
I would also like to work for the Minstry of Bazookas on Hard Shoulder Patrol to handle anyone so important that they can choose to drive down the hard shoulder when there is a queue of mortals in their majestic way.

Pie-minister... although their already is one (which I might add do some real tasty pies - I recommend the "henny penny pie" from the supermarket or the "Chicken of Aragon" if you find a stall at some kind of outdoor event)
- Institute a rule that if on a dual carriageway you have not passed the other vehicle withing a given distance (say 300m) you have to yield and return to the inside lane.
- Replace the smoking ban with properly enforced air quality standards in all public places. So you can smoke indoors, the environment just has to have suitable ventilation.
- Mandate that organisations undertake a fair and open recruitment process for all positions with a guaranteed minimum period of 4 weeks between the position being announced and interviewing starting.
- I am in two minds about making all contracts of employment public documents.
- Add two new bank hollidays. One being New Years eve, the other being in late october.
- Legalise, regulate and tax drugs in the same way as alcohol and tabacco
- Changing sentencing so that prison is only used for violent, persistent and serious offenders.
Russ makes pies...awesome pies with lids and sides and floors and pastry horns sticking out the top when there's beef involved! Come and eat a Russ Pie with us xxxx
I think we're coming to you a week on Saturday, aren't we? If Russ wants to serve us pie then that's all good with me (so long as it has sides and a base). :-)
Having pimped up his pies, I must now shut up, as I shouldn't tell the cook what his providings should be! I'll suggest it though...any particular pie type to be avoided?

I had blue lines in my head as rivers, and couldn't think of yellow ones. Doh!
