Your petition reads:

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Demand that The Grey Cardigan of Strood gets his hair cut by Aunt Pat

The Grey Cardigan of Strood is refusing to get his hair cut. It has now been some 18 months since his last visit to Aunt Pat. His friends and colleagues demand that TGC makes the call to his Aunt and books himself an appointment, as his hair is now the second longest in the office behind a lady. We do not expect the Prime Minister to exert pressure on TGC to go for a number one all over, but something neat and tidy with a little left over his collar and ears would be ideal. Please sign and help us to help The Grey Cardigan.

Thank you for submitting your petition.
