It's official: Bill Gates thinks Tony Blair is a spammer!
by loiswakeman @ 22 Feb. 2007 - 12:51:19

Along with almost 1.8 million of my fellow UK citizens, I signed the petition protesting about pay-per-mile congestion charging for reasons I won't dwell on here. Every man jack and jill of us allegedly got a reply from him on Wednesday. I felt a bit miffed that I was left out: till I checked in the Junk folder in Outlook - and there it was. I had to smirk, I must say!

The other interesting things about the email were that it was coherent (even if I didn't agree with some of the content), not full of typos like many official documents I rant about, and read as if it had been written by a real person. So, my respect for that.

You can read more about the petition on the 10 Downing Street web site.

That is funny, I wondered why I hadn't received one. There has never been any doubt about TB's communication skills, it is what he says I find problems with. Hope Devon is not as wet today as Wiltshire.

It is. I have just put in an order of rice seeds to plant a paddy!

You are right about the communication skills: he's like dear old Tony Benn in that respect (but no others!)

Its clearing here now so I hope it spreads further west. It was certainly wet enough this morning. I've always admired Tony Benn. I don't always agree with him by any means but he tells it as he see's it - unusual in a politician.

That's where mine ended up as well! I agree with Lifes Lessions about it being what he says.
It's grey and wet in London today.

Keep your spirits up: sunshine and showers are on their way - just got the first sunny spell here.
