A light-hearted what would you change if you could thread

[Paul L]

Not intended to divert into wealth, poverty and humanity issues that other threads cover very ably and intelligently. Just a light-hearted off-topic banter.

I’d like a listen to work scheme as I don’t need another bike and whilst we might think DAP and headphones or earphones, looking at how lax the cycle to work scheme has become over the years I’ll happily make home system purchases using it and save the tax!

I’d move the U.K. into the middle of the Mediterranean.

I'd move the UK off the coast of Norway. It's going to get a lot hotter......

 

[Bob McC]

Not when the gulf stream disappears.

Anyway, the title of the thread is light hearted so perhaps doom mongers should find somewhere else to post.

What would I change?

Shoot people who drop litter.

Turn the internet off between 22:00 hrs and 09:00 hrs

Death sentence for drivers that park on motorway overpasses and watch the traffic.
All z-list celebs and "reality" TV oiks to be put through a wood-chipper and in the same vein, Essex to be disconnected, floated out and sunk with all hands.

Wot all of Essix? (note the correct spelling and pronounce in an Essix accent) . Even Finchingfield and surrounds?

why stop there? I'd like to reverse the clock to early 1990s. No internet, no mobile phones, no social media!

Also I was young and fit then

Some bits of Essix are OK. I had work near Coggeshall, that was nice enough. But my change? Put the UK back in the EU. Even including Essex. I reckon most would be happy with that, even in Essex.

I don’t want to reverse any clock.

Mobile phones are ace!

Rocket launchers built into cars which are legal to use on middle lane hoggers!

 

[Tony Lockhart]

Take car interiors back to 1999. They were ace. Buttons, switches, well dead good dials and gauges, and I love knobs.

Miss out the period of promoting diesel engines in cars, just keep pushing petrol engine tech while improving ‘alternatives’.

Go back to 1999 and get Ukraine into NATO.

Start brewing Chesters Mild again

Too overt. Now a directional EMP blast, that would be a nice to have.

 

[BillT]

Be able to burn the candle at both ends and equally as bright.

Essex to be disconnected

I expect they would be quite happy to be an independent state.

Much of the rest of Britain is in dire need of "levelling up".

I'll say. I'm currently working in Cowdenbeath. Go to Google Street View and have a look round. You could start on the High St, or you could just go and have a look at the housing on the edge of town. Feel free to report back.

Welcome to small town Scotland, sadly it seems to be everywhere in the UK that isn't an affluent area.
Affluence or effluence - its the Tory way...

 

[Big Tabs]

Music to be taught in school from day one.
How to play an instrument, however basic, and reading music.

Appreciation of Music to be a completely different lesson to learning an instrument.
Free provision of said instruments.

Dance classes - all styles. Compulsory.
