"Between me and the ballot box"
Off to the polls we went and in the style of a Respect candidate (who certainly won the 'most people out supporting them' prize) I'm going to give you an exciting photo diary.Voting was taking place in the local primary school, which seems strange given it isn't half-term anymore.
And here it is (photo digitally altered to remove girlfriend)
Once inside we had lots of fun. First I hanged around after being told how to vote 'so I can tell the girlfriend how to vote' (that always gets some laughs), then I was told off for trying to take a photo of the ballot paper, "it's illegal". I pointed out that no lesser luminary than Peter 'Truth Unvarnished' Cuthbertson has done that, but to no avail. I checked the rules at the end and couldn't see anything about taking photographs, but I assume they're right on the grounds it makes this sort of thing much easier. Finally I was asked who I had voted for, and in the manner of every election I've ever vote in, I said in my best Captain Mainwaring voice "It's between me and the ballot box".
Then we went to here for a coffee.
And then I saw this strange woman in a window, who I imagine is voting Respect.
