178 signatures - petition closed today (September 30) to protect a surprise international signature!

Folks,

On September 28th, I chipped in £25 in the hope of reaching the 150-signature milestone and we have absolutely smashed it!

We also have received a surprise signature from Cape Town, SOUTH AFRICA according to my CSV spreadsheets, so we have actually reached two of the remaining target nations my main earliest Easter date petition has so far failed to reach!

This petition is temporarily closed just for 24 hours to prevent the loss of a surprise signature, and I will reveal that I celebrated Easter on Sunday 22nd March 2026 (two weeks before the "wrong" official date).

The only two remaining nations my "March 22nd 2026" Easter story is yet to reach are New Zealand and the Republic of Ireland. 

Even my joke petition to stop the days from getting shorter has received two signatures internationally from Singapore and Washington State, despite the petition's scope having been set to 'Local' from day one!

"200 day" will almost certainly occur in October 2026!

Ro---- Miles Ash----- (Mr. Easter)
