I really need a big favour

[Captain Pugwash]

Hi there,

I am a new member from Bristol, England (the birthplace of Blackbeard and inspiration for Treasure Island) and this is my first post.

I hope I am not breaking any chat etiquette by asking this favour...

I really need people with Facebook accounts to join my group called "We want a Long John Silver statue with a Treasure Island Trail in Bristol".

http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/group.php?gid=264802695385

Basically, I have set the group up on behalf of a charity (The Long John Silver Trust) in order to visually demonstrate there is public demand to get a statue.

Unfortunately, the City Council are 'lukewarm' about the idea, giving excuses such as people arent interested and LJS is a fictional character.

If I can get a large group of like-minded people from all over the world to join this group, it will help us win the argument that people actually ARE interested and that some of them are potential tourists/visitors to the city of Bristol.

Anyway, thank you for your time.

I hope to be seeing you there.

Best wishes

Matt

I went out to Facebook and joined your worthy cause. There are many statues around the world based on fictional characters. Good luck!
