You're right. So who's going to be the Napoleon of Forest Hill?

No, no, it is a negotiated solution. We fool Boris into signing the independence charter by telling him it's a contract for a game show.

However, we do need an easily defendable border, Moos, for passport and customs purposes, which is why I think we need to stick to the hillier bits. Peckham is just not practical, although I realise most of London will be clamouring to come under our fair and rational regime. We might be able to accommodate roads bordering Dog Kennel Hill on request.

Very good point, Moos.

Belloc's and Chesterton's books on oeconomics are still amusing.

Are you all channelling Passport to Pimlico?

[macroban]

We'd need to find a copy of the original Friern Manor charter to do a Pimlico.

We need a manifesto:

1. Cheap burial plot for MacRoban

[macroban]

For a small fee I can forge a charter in early medieval latin. I would need some help with the old English boundary clauses.

Snorky, will there be a forum discount?

Steady on, you're supposed to hold off the blatant venality and fraud until after you're confirmed in office. (see Governments, British, various, 1979 to present).

And burial plots are neither rational nor viable as we will have to grow a lot of our own food, and the citizens will have so much free time, they will need all the green space for recreation. We can offer you a Viking funeral at Peckham Rye though, which would be much more fun. (Otherwise I feel you are coming on nicely as a scheming power-behind-the-throne-Chancellor type)

I would have thought that growing vegetables on top of a corpse would be good from a compost point of view.

Oh dear. Project sidetracked faster than Gordon Brown. (Are you influenced by that very old film "Soylent Green?" PG? Yuk.)

Give me time!

I'm working out the details of the Independent East Dulwich Hedge Fund.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Never heard of it, SQ1. Just seemed logical, Captain.
