If the Fox was so important to so many people, why was it considered a viable economic option to sell it? Since it's already been sold, no petition will save it, alas.

Well, if you don't try, you don't get. And perhaps this way the new owners can be persuaded to leave it as it is rather than turn it into flats.
It certainly isn't making any losses.

The aim is to stop the planning permission. That we do have a chance of doing, as it is quite a significant place, if only for the Charles James Fox/Georgina Duchess of Devonshire connections. If they can't bulldoze it, then there's some chance of moving on from there.

It's been sold because the previous owners are the people who own huge trendy bar chains, like All Bar One and other such delights. They sold pretty much everything that wasn't a chain bar, pretty much.

Is there any veracity to the "5000 signatures or it's not serious" argument?

I don't doubt that we'll reach that number, given that the petition has been picking up on average about 500 signatures a day since it went up.

Trying to ensure regular news updates on the website.

Look! It's THE Robin Cannon!

The news came from January, I think. 5000 would certainly make an impact, anyway. Seeing as we're almost at 4100, it's an acheivable goal. :)

Is anybody actually subscribed to the Intrepid Fox's own myspace as a friend?

Friends can comment on the myspace homepage, but I'm not friended and so can't post the web address to the petition.

did Time Out contact you? They sent me an e-mail Friday (I think) after I e-mailed them, asking what sort of action had been taken so far. I told them it was best to talk to you.

Re: Look! It's THE Robin Cannon!

Nope, not heard anything from them. I also wrote to them, but no reply as yet.

How weird. She contacted me specifically and I gave the petition address and your web address as well.

By the way, the petition is being touted on all the bulletins on MySpace, so don't worry, people are getting it.

Time Out updated: Letter of the week, from Miss Nicole, with web address for the petition printed as well. :-D

I signed it ages ago :) and whilst I don't have millions of people listed as friends I do have some who themselves have millions of friends, so hopefully they'll pass it on.
