Thanks. It's quite a surprise to actually have this happen.

And it was more of a surprise when my mobile phone rang and a Scottish man said "Hello John. It's Gordon Brown."



That's awesome. In the USA, you get "Please hold for the President of the United States".


Actually it went like this: the phone rang and a woman called Kirsty who I'd had previously spoken to said "Gordon would like to talk to you" and then Gordon was on the line...


Completely awesome. Good work! I signed the petition (of course) and encouraged others to do so, but I have to admit that I am delighted that it actually happened.
