Bob Piper has been a Labour Councillor for the Abbey
Ward in Sandwell, West Midlands, for nine years. He is a lifelong supporter of Aston Villa Football Club and a follower of Yorkshire County Cricket Club.
The views expressed here are mine in a personal capacity, not those of the Labour Party, Sandwell MBC, Aston Villa or Yorkshire County Cricket Club. Get it! Mine... just mine!
I quite like this Show us a better way. Its a Government website that allows people to make useful suggestions about the way the Government could use new technology. This one would be particularly useful if the Tories win the next election, Digital Waiting Times. You could lie there in agony and watch your operation disappear into the far distance. Or this one... Where's my bus?... a question we ask so often in these deregulated times. The answer is usually something along the lines of, 'Fighting it out we three other operators for the same route while you hang around like a mug for hours because they don't think your route is profitable'.
My suggestion was going to be 'Where's my bloody post office gone'... a site which seems destined to be in far greater demand as the months go by.
