I’ll start. It must be made compulsory for all work related emails to contain a footer which contains the sodding phone number of the sender.
And any business website must clearly display a phone number on all pages. The ‘contact’ page must enable you to do exactly that.

The Companies Act 2006 has the dubious honour of being one of the UK’s longest pieces of legislation, running to more than 700 pages long.
The Act requires you disclose certain information about the identity of your company on your website. This information doesn’t need to be on every page, but it does need to be easily found so it will typically go on your Contact Us page, or About Us page. You will also find placing some of this information on the footer section of your pages will be useful to both users, and for your search engine optimisation:
Company name
Company registered number
Place of registration, such as England and Wales
Registered office address
Your company name, postal address and company email address
How to contact your business via non-electronic means
Your VAT number, even if the website is not being used for ecommerce transactions
The name of any trade bodies or professional associations that the business is part of, including membership or registration details.
Not so sure about that. I get (very mildly) annoyed when I email someone and they then phone me back with a response. If I wanted a chat I'd have called you. I usually email because I want a measured response or something in writing.
Wheatons Law?
This is exactly why I [I]don't[/I] put my phone number on emails (suck it OP) 😂If I wanted a chat I’d have called you.

Yes quite.
Email is recorded, archived and potentially audited. Phone calls are not.
If I've put something in an email then it is probably because I want it written down.
If I get a phone call in response then you can expect a follow-up email that says "Thank you for the call. Just to reiterate the points discussed..."
Email ping pong is really shit sometimes and a quick phone call sorts stuff out. Follow up email is good though.
Not quite what the OP is asking for but I'm pushing for a large number of laws that have been passed actually being enforced.
Email should be banned as a business tool in their current form.
They would be better if they only sent once a day at the end of business and could only be received once a day at 10 am the next morning just like the old fashioned post.
That would stop the ping pong and concentrate the minds of people to only include important details and provide measured responses, just like we used to have with lettters.
Ok, here are a couple of global laws-
Plastic. Just pass a law to prohibit its manufacture. **** it, we'll manage.
A law to prevent everyone from breeding for... hmm... hang on, let's see... 80 years should do it.
Work related emails should be banned after 5pm on Friday.🤔
Email someone on Friday after office hour with work related issues then expects a response on Monday 9am morning instantly. Worst still you get the boss asking "Have you read my email? Have you read my email I sent on Friday?" FFS just speak and explain to me face-to-face since you are standing in front of me. 😠
Please don't email someone at the last minute on Friday to pass the buck and spoil their weekend ... 🤬

Gets my vote. Can we also ban sunday evening emails too?
Pavement parking - tow it and crush it.
Parked vehicles idling - tow it etc. Option of letting the driver out first.
"Upto 75% off in the sale" - banned from advertising for 12 months
Pavement parking and the ban of plastic would get my vote. Most of my work is via email so getting rid of email works for me too.
Seatbelts banned in cars, to be replaced by a spike pointing at the drivers chest. That should get the f*ckers to drive properly.
People who can't use email properly be sent off to one of the small islands to breed homing pigeons.
All junctions to have trapdoors fitted so cars blocking them when the lights change drop into the void and get crushed.
Any government minister trying to restrict internet access to have their browsing history made public
Anyone who posted their bike on the Skinwall thread to be added to the list
Going to be serious and I might come across as being 'holier than thou' bearing in mind that I'm neither a parent or a smoker, but I'm afraid that smoking in the presence of children really winds me up and leads me to the thought that it ought to be legislated against (no end of examples, but one that springs to mind is a young mum stood behind her pushchair smoking over the head of her child will her friend crouched down in front with a fag in her mouth playing with the kiddie).
One of the laws I had in mind in the previous post whilst mentioning the enforcement of laws that had already been passed was smoking in cars that were carrying children; I believe that this was passed some while ago but I doubt if much, if anything, has transpired by way of prosecutions (I remember a news report about the passing of the law with a outraged mother claiming that she wasn't going to stop 'cus she was addicted).
It strikes me that knowingly exposing children to harmful substances when it's entirely avoidable is it the very least neglect (after all we're all protected by legislation in enclosed public spaces); it's probably another unenforceable one.
FFS just speak and explain to me face-to-face since you are standing in front of me.
I regularly used to get people turning up at my office to speak to me, clutching a printout of the email they'd sent. So no, don't do that, just the email is fine.
Intentional littering, of any sort on any scale (from fag butts out a window, to arctic loads dumped in the countryside should have proper fines/prison sentences if caught together with punitive damages paid to the affected community. Deportation would have been good if still an option!
Middle lane hogging on motorways should result in vehicles being crushed
People to keep their unruly ****ing kids under control in supermarkets, pubs, the street, etc please feel free to add!
-Ban Crown dependencies being used as tax havens.
-Prevent housing being used for investment
-Better transparency on property ownership through free access to the land registrar.
-Greater protection to green belt land.
-Convert strategic footpaths to bridleways.
-Put a cap on salaries, especially footballers.
-Ban chewing gum.
-Greater subsidies to farmers who actually use their land for agricultural use and laws to prevent the land being sold off to property developers. Agricultural land should be Critical National Infrastructure.
Damn I could go on but I'll only end up sounding more irrational.
Too much greed everywhere. Hate it
I thought of one the other day. Subsidies to farmers for set-aside for cycle paths.
Anyway, what happened to "Don't be a Dick"? Has it reached the Lords yet?
Hanging dog shit bags in trees.
+1 inconsiderate parking on pavements.
Rude people.
Ban working tax credits. Employers should pay their staff enough not to need them. They care a subsidy to the employer, not the recipient.
Ban any one from being an mp or a member of the lords unless they are domiciled for all tax in the UK.
Ban speed cameras or admit they are purely about raising revenue and nothing to do with road safety
I'd remove more laws than add to them, there's too many people locked up for petty crap caused by poverty. I agree with a lot of what Bigblaackheinoustoe said, apart from banning chewing gum and subsidising farmers so that they can sell milk cheaply to tesco who cream the profit.
Ban people from sitting in their vehicles with engine running, especially outside schools.
The very definition of self-centered arseholeness. And they do it when it's barely nippy outside. AND the ****s often seem to have a perfectly good layer of blubber to keep them warm anyway.

That is easy, we just put a 0.5 mile exclusion zone around schools for cars stopping and kicking out kids, you are free to chuck them out or get them in at 20mph though.

Removal of prison/custodial sentences for under 1 year does address that.
ntentional littering, of any sort on any scale (from fag butts out a window, to arctic loads dumped in the countryside should
on summary conviction the offender has to eat the rubbish deposited at the roadside while in prison.
takeaway containers are 1 standard size so any pot/lid combo will work.
Sterilise everyone until you can prove your mental health and finances can support a child. Then you can be unsterilised.
Ban plastic.
Sterilise everyone until you can prove your mental health and finances can support a child. Then you can be unsterilised.
Oh boy, that is a very dark road to go down, one that has been traveled a few times before.
Sterilise everyone until you can prove your mental health and finances can support a child. Then you can be unsterilised.
When is the ballot form coming out?
Compulsory sterilisation for anyone with a dickhead haircut or who hyphenates their childrens first name.
I've often thought it odd that non uk passport holders can vote in our elections.
ONly in local, EU and scottish and Welsh parliament elections. Not in Westminster elections
Why not - if they live here and pay taxes they should be able to vote
All dogs to be muzzled and on a lead of no more than 1m length when in public areas.
Ban speed cameras or admit they are purely about raising revenue and nothing to do with road safety
More speed cameras, speeding is a crime and if there is an easy way to stop people doing it then it should be supported.
Punishment, prison or freezing of assets, for any politician caught lying.
Drivers who brake then signal should be made to walk or cycle for a month.
Garden equipment with petrol motors should be tested for exhaust noise levels.
England along with Scotland and Wales should be recognised as a country of residence not lumped under UK. Before you complain NI is a province and you can have an Irish passport.
Rather than banning plastic packaging completely, why not make a law that all packaging/bottles should be made of the same (most easily recyclable) type of plastic.
People who don't say Thank You when you hold a door for them, that one deserves the death penalty
Loud ****s coming out of pubs near residential areas should be gagged as they leave or the pub loses its license.
To be famous/politician, you must have a marketable skill or talent, or in the politicians case, a track record of making things better. Otherwise, you just plain don't get to be one and only get to be a cockwomble in your spare time, not all the time and on TV
Standard sizes for things, like tupperware.

I like this. Catch 22 works every time.
Sterilise everyone until you can prove your mental health and finances can support a child. Then you can be unsterilised.
There are some things that are beyond the pale. This is one of them.
summary execution for people playing music out of their phone speakers in public.
A decent proportional representation system for voting.
Harsh punishments for politicians who lie or are otherwise corrupt.
Improved political party funding regulations.
Harsh punishments for politicians who lie or are otherwise corrupt.
I'd like to see politicians blocked from having 2, 3 other jobs as well as their (supposedly full time) job as an MP. If they have time to do consulting, be a board member etc, then they aren't working hard enough as an MP.
Eductional courses for people that don’t understand that mental illnesses are illnesses and nothing to do with parental suitability. With an exam at the end.
extra spelling eduction for people who can't spell eduction 😉
