Ruler Of The World (lighthearted)

I agree about the non-alcoholic wine!

As I said on the other thread I'd ban Christmas!

I'll have to have a think about what else to use my powers for..

If I ruled the world every day would be sunny and a pleasant temperature.

I would ban hard to open jars and packets.
People who beep their horns loudly while leaving after midnight would be fined as would litter bugs.

I would have dog free parks and dog parks as happens in parts of the US. Would ban mobile phones in all theatres, cinemas, art galleries/museums and restaurants. Would force the NHS, car parks, banks etc., to offer non tech services. And would offer free childcare to all families.
Will think up some more 🧐

With rain overnight 🌞🌧

I'd invent something which would trace litter back to the people who dropped it and make them spend a week litter-picking.

I would decree that everybody should 'just be kind'. The world would be a pleasant and more peaceful place. It shouldn't be difficult!

I'd pay people according to the value they contribute to the world and the contributions they make to their local community. There would be a generous ceiling to what anyone could earn based on the earnings of the lowest paid worker. ie a much fairer distribution of wealth and prosperity. Goodness knows how you'd do it but this I'm not likely to be ruler of the world! Oh and I'd ban fireworks!

Id make it illegal to play loud music in gardens on sunny days. One of my pet hates is having to listen to music booming into my space. I love music, couldn't live without it, most genres too, but I want my peace when I am outside, unless it's music from a concert or organised event I've chosen to attend.
I'd also fine drivers who insist on having their (usually awful) music, (thudding bass nine times out of ten) deafen everyone in the vicinity as they sit in traffic or drive by.
I did, when younger and braver, tell to the driver of an adjoining car to "Turn it up. They can't hear you in London.."
but the sarcasm was lost on him.

I'd also introduce a ' kerb appeal' law, insisting landlords keep the frontage of their properties in good repair, and front gardens neat and tidy.

Travelling around, I'd say it's something urgently needed. So many neighbourhoods in cities and towns look like slums when landlords and tenants let places deteriorate and keep rubbish in front gardens.

I would ban people who want to ban fireworks.
I would pay someone millions to invent something better than clothes hangers.

I would ban all weapons and order every country to destroy their stock. I would ensure that all of the money spent on weapons in each country was spent on improving the lives and infrastructure of that country and others in the world. I would decree that all conflicts were sorted out through negotiations.

Ha, in that case I would ban anyone who wanted to ban people from banning fireworks and make possession of a firework a criminal offence punishable by a 100 years of community service tending to sick animals.

Yay for both!

Again yay!

Only a week?

Oh and in my secret rocket, which has been active in my imagination for many years, to send all those people I truly despise (no one on this site), up in one for a one way trip to the moon.

It would have to be a very large rocket, as I’ve already quite a list, including a good few leaders of countries and political parties, Katie Hopkins, Eamon Holmes, a woman who bullied me relentlessly at work, one of my old teachers, and various other not so nice people!

We better not be in charge foxie, we would end up in a cycle of banning. We are probably secret authoritarians.

I would decree that only well made clothes were offered for sale.
That only flags of the British Isles should be flown here.
That all Turkish barber shops / vape shops / Vietnamese nail bars and any other place that’s an obvious money laundering outfit be closed down forthwith.
That dark Bounty bars be brought back.
That Police and nursing Colleges be re-instated.
That all fun sized ( disappointingly tiny) chocolate bars vanish from the shelves.
That any shop assistant suffers a small taser shock if they say ‘ we don’t stock it there’s no call for it’ or fail to acknowledge the presence of a customer in any way.😁
I would also fine heavily those who snatch a parking space while you are obviously there first but they push in.
That’ll do for starters.

I'd make snow warm and rain dry.

I would make sure that everyone would have access to clean drinking water and free health care. Would also make kindness, politeness, and gentleness part of the educational curriculum.

I would ban all wind and rainstorms that cause severe flooding and electricity cut outs.
Pavement parkers who cause people especially mums with prams and wheelchair users to go into the road to get passed should have their cars impounded permanently.

Oh and Teacher Training College too please.

I graciously assent Cossy

BAN CHRISTMAS Grannybags. How could you!!!!

Finally I’d make non-alcoholic wine taste nice!

I agree with this! Some are truly awful... 😑

However I have to say that as a family we find Kylie Minogue's alcohol-free sparkling rosé, well chilled, quite acceptable 🥂

I order from Tesco but I imagine other supermarkets stock it as well.
