You know, if a representative of the people can write a phrase like "a positive reduction" (WTF?) then I don't think anyone on here needs to worry too much about what they put in their letter.

By the way, if you have a look at the website theyworkforyou.com, you can actually get a bit of a steer about whether your MP is interested - or likely to be - by their voting record on smoking and whether or not they show as having health as a topic of interest.
So, for example, my MP has voted moderately against smoking bans in the past. So, appealing to his personal concerns, I said "I note that you have not been a strong supporter of smoking bans in the past, and wonder if perhaps you are, or have been a smoker? If so, you will appreciate how very hard it can be to stop smoking" and so on, blah blah. Also, by a happy coincidence, my MP has shown a particular interest in health matters, and indeed one of his pet interests seems to be asking written questions about clinical trials, so that's another avenue to explore. I'm hoping that by appealing a bit to his own interests I can engage him a bit more if he isn't engaged already..

Thanks! I've left my scuba diving gear in the top bedroom, so if push comes to shove I can shoehorn myself into a drysuit..although I won't be a pretty sight!

I have no wish to contradict you, and I realise you are communicating in English which is more difficult for you. However, your Warranty policy does not respect European legislation.

Well, let's face it, UKIP would come out in favour of anything that would get them votes....

An AUstralian friend of mine has just posted on Facebook to say that nothing seems to have happened. I told her it was nice of them to be first in the queue for oblivion. She said she was going to make breakfast, but she'd have to pop and get some milk. Apparently, she didn't go out for any last night, just in case it would have gone to waste.

Seals, yes. I'm not sure about the better caps. It can sometimes take me a good few minutes to get into most of my bottles (from different suppliers and sources) as it is. There would be nothing worse than a more complicated safety cap on a 10ml bottle of juice. Imagine as it spins off away from you, spilling what little there is in the bottle in the first place?
