A wee while ago my door knocked and a young lady stood there with a leaflet.
'Did I know about the energy savings grants?,' she asked. I had to say I knew of some, but not this one.
And hence I was seduced into a process, culminating in a visit from a surveyor, which resulted in... zippy. Because the house was old, and complex...and.. and, I did not qualify.
Despite this, I was still fairly onside, as it seemed a commitment of funds in areas I can endorse, namely proactive doing.
But now, thanks to a twitter link, I am looking at this (read the comments for a reality check the Brain-strains behind this one will never have):
Ban sales of poorly insulated homes, says Energy Saving Trust
And hence I am thinking not so much of a bonfire of the quangos, as promised, but a Hydra of them. Limitless numbers of offices, people, boards, pay, pensions, perks, comms budgets consuming bazillions all just stopping things. What a lovely metaphor for the age.
And hence I propose the next, and ultimate of them all: BAN - Ban All Now!
