keep patient I'm sure I'm not the only thing Peter has to deal with and he probably has no idea just how important I am as I keep modest

as the e-petition now has over 100,000 signatures it will be 'eligible' for debate in the House of Commons but it is not a given – so the more signatures the better
138,000 now and it ends 10th February 2013 so it would be good to get loads more signatures and less likely the Government could ignore it if it has a substantial number of signatures
if there were 1 or 2 million signatures it couldn’t go unnoticed – in this country how many motorists, pedestrians, cyclists, climbers, walkers, workers and inhabitants of more remote areas are there, more than 2 million
any of us or our family, friends, co-workers could need this service at anytime
so please spread the word let's have a snowball effect

How is this going na & MBH? I hope well - haven't chance to check yet.
144,000 but slowed right downI keep mean to bump thread during slower times but keep forgetting, the turnover of threads here is so high and quick I'll try and be more vidulant
I did ask to be considered for a 'sticky' but no joy as yet
Air Ambulance very much in the news locally and nationally today with the serious M1 crash around junctions 16 and 15a
ETA from original post:
Here’s something that could be helped by just a few clicks of a mouse button -
The RNLI lifeboats have been exempt from VAT on the fuel they use since 1977 and a government petition has been set up to do the same for Air Ambulances
‘The Air Ambulance Service have saved successive governments millions and millions of pounds funded by charitable donations given by the general public to run what has proven to be an essential service.’
even though the e-petition now has over 100,000 signatures it will still only be eligible for debate in the House of Commons but not certain that it will be debated so many, many more signatures are needed for them to really take notice
a quick look at the fact page should remind you of the service’s value - http://www.airambulanceassociation.co.uk/amazing_f...

because lots of people -
. avoid paying taxes
. want to pay the bare minimum taxes
. want taxes reduced or abolished
. feel that others should pay taxes or more in taxes but not them
. feel they already pay far too many and too much in taxes
. feel you should have paid for insurance for these sorts of things
. feel taxes should be at a minimum and rely on people to support such causes from some of the extra money they have from not being taxed so heavily
