According to the announcement when I switch on my Sky box, leaving it on Standby saves energy - enough to light a city the size of Birmingham, it says. Now I'm all for saving energy, but if you are going to use that sort of persuasion surely you should be pitching a city with some culture and a bit of panache. Okay Birmingham is our second biggest city supposedly, but why not use several smaller more worthy cities to make the point. If i'm going to light up a city by going to the efforts of reaching down the back of the sideboard to reach the plug, then please let it be York, or Edinburgh, or somewhere pretty in the Cotswolds, or maybe a huge part of the North Yorkshire moors, maybe every town and village in the dales. But not bloody Birmingham.
In fact join me in my campaign to black out Birmigham and make sure you leave your sky box on standby tonight!
