I have often wondered if there could be a way of harnessing the energy kids waste use for building sandcastles. Hour after hour they toil away to create a magnificent edifice that then gets washed away by the tide or stomped upon by a well meaning grandfather - tee hee.



The practicalities involved in transference of effort to common use [E = 2-y oh y÷3CHILD/Grit] just doesn't work out.
Therefore I suggest an energy tax on their efforts. For every hour they spend playing in the sand, they then have to do 10 minutes on a treadmill that is connected to the National Grid.
This will keep them out of trouble for longer and solve the energy crisis as well as teaching them social responsibility.
Brilliant - and while they're busy, I'll enjoy an ice-cream and a little sit down. I have so many plans for Papersurfer Jnr.
