FYI: Nobody has said anything about whether non-citizens (ie non-TAXpayers) could sign the petition. I didn't expect to be able to (I'm in the U.S.) but I gave it a shot. It asked me if I lived in the U.K. & I clicked No and couldn't sign it. Too bad. I've spent quite a bit of money with the GRO, but they would actually get more money from me if they offered a better deal. However, if the powers that be in the UK don't pay attention to their own taxpayers, they certainly won't care about the descendants of emigrants. Eileen Phelps (Dad born in Nottingham)
