There is a logic to what they’re proposing because, if you just look around, you can see that there isn’t enough room.” But she added: “At the same time, there is something quite disturbing about the idea.”The Government said that reusing graves would relieve pressure on space and allow more people to be buried near the communities in which they lived. Permission to dig them up would only be given if there were no objections from descendants of the dead, if they could be tracked down, and is likely to be limited to remains more than 100 years old. With more than 150,000 burials every year, pressure is growing on the network of Victorian cemeteries. Some in inner London have been forced to close their gates, and many municipal burial grounds nationwide are nearly full.The Government admitted yesterday that, without immediate action, the country will soon face serious problems in burying its dead.

Launching a consultation document on burial practices, Paul Goggins, a Home Office minister, acknowledged that any move to reuse graves was likely to run into strong resistance, particularly on religious grounds.Remains would be exhumed and re-interred in a small casket in the so-called “lift and deepen” method, and buried up to three metres deep. The red-lined tyres, distinct handlebars, elongated seat, backrest and chrome seat loop are all intact.The main changes will be the gearshift, which has been moved from the crossbar to the handlebars for safety reason, as well as a new light-weight form.A Raleigh spokesman said: “It has taken us nine months to redesign the new Chopper and we know it’s going to prove as popular as it did in the Seventies.” The first will cost £249.99, while subsequent bikes, without a plaque, will retail at £199.99.. Human remains could be dug up and reburied at a greater depth to free more space in overcrowded cemeteries, the Government said yesterday. The enduring passion of many childhood Chopper lovers was subsequently reflected in the growing band of ageing collectors who lovingly restored and collected rare models.Clubs for Chopper owners and on-line auctions, where original models sell for more than £500, have continued to thrive.The new Chopper will not disappoint those who continue to covet the original model. Along with Space Hoppers and etch-a-sketch, the bicycles swiftly came to define an era due to their runaway popularity among schoolchildren.

For any self-respecting Seventies child they were the ultimate symbols of urban cool, before becoming the obsession of cult collectors across the globe.
Now, the nation’s passion for the distinctly shaped bicycle defined by its ape-hanger handlebars and extended backrest is to be indulged once again. After an absence of 25 years, the Chopper is back.Capitalising on the rose-tinted nostalgia of its customers, Raleigh UK yesterday announced plans to relaunch the Seventies bicycle later this year.An initial run of 2,004 limited-edition bikes will be released in April, each capturing the historic sense of the occasion with a unique production number stamped on a plaque.The Chopper became an instant hit when it was launched in 1969, with more than 1.5 million sold in the following decade, until production ceased in 1979. Marching makes people feel like they can take back a bit of control, be a bit more individual.”. I wouldn’t go on one.”Fabian Moreno, 27, builder, London”I’ve only just come to Britain from Brazil so I haven’t been on any marches yet I might march against this weather, it’s too cold. You should change that.”Claire Booth, 35, lab technician, Glasgow”I would march for a moratorium on whale hunting I do feel strongly about the unnecessary killing of whales. Unfortunately I am not confident the politicians would listen, but at least the marchers would feel better for doing something.”Clio Gould, 35, lead violinist in the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, London”I’d march to cancel third-world debt – getting rid of it seems to be the only way forward. If there was a protest in Manchester tomorrow and I could get away from work, it is certainly something that would make me march.”Nancy Tyrie, 22, sailing instructor, London”I’m a bit scared of marches; what puts me off is a dangerous minority who can hijack them for their own goals and make them violent.

There’s no age restriction, really? Well I might go on one then, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of point too it, though.”Kate Peever, 23, waitress, Manchester”I was studying Russian at University College, London, until last year and still feel very strongly about top-up fees I know people it is affecting and we are having to work now. It shows a disregard for God and lack of respect for other human beings, and although I wouldn’t start a campaign I would consider adding my voice to one.”Stephanie Ramsamy, 18, security guard, London”I’m only 18, I’m too young to go on marches. It is a symptom of a decline in morals which sees people dropping litter, and thinking of themselves before anybody else. The Government likes to curry favour with voters – they don’t want to do things which are unpopular. That’s why they shy away from taxing the higher paid more.”Chris Bailey, 61, chairman and non-executive director, London”I would march to defend the countryside way of life. I think for too many people the Countryside Alliance march was all about fox-hunting, but it was about more than that. I’m actually quite anti-hunting but I’d be prepared to march to support rural areas.”David Fleming, 50, director National Museums and Galleries on Merseyside”The thing that makes me angry is the mass predisposition to dropping progressive, graduated taxation Retaining this is not just a political theory.
