Rejected petition Designate the first Wednesday in August every year "Wiggo Wednesday"

More details

To celebrate the outstanding sporting achievement of Bradley Wiggins, the first Wednesday of August (Bradley's Olympic Time Trial gold medal was won on 1 August at the London 2012 Games) every year should be designated "Wiggo Wednesday". To celebrate the day, people should be allowed to wear stick-on sideburns to their place of work, or school, for a small fee. Monies collected would be donated to local sports clubs and charities for young people. This annual event would ensure his achievement is remembered for generations to come.
