Who knows what this 'trending' claim really means anyway. All we know is that a lot of us have put in a lot of effort on this campaign over the past three weeks, and besides a couple of mentions thanks to the GNR Central and Appetite for Distortion podcasts, this has been total fan energy - no retweets from celebrities or mentions by Instagram influencers to help us get to our goal.

One by one we see the name count rising, and we're so grateful to every single person who has taken the time to join us here.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend, and if you're out at an event or down the pub, see if you can tell one person you meet about this petition. That person might well turn out to be our 1000th signature!

More from me tomorrow.
