I liked the way the BBC said 'breaking news'..

I remember 6 weeks ago, they practically said its May 5th, just Labour refuse to confirm!

And the polls put labour at best five points ahead, and in some cases five points behind..... Sharpen those pencils folks, every vote counts

Oh every vote counts allright-and everyone should make the effort to try and get the bas*ards out-but still I have the feeling the result is a foregone conclusion.

Did they come with a letter basically begging you to vote by post?

Not sure, I only flicked a cursory glance at them, will check tonight when I get home.

We are out in the sticks a bit though, haven't a clue where the nearest polling station would be.

If they have sent you postal vote forms do you have to use them or can you still go to a polling station?

I hope you aren't going to use it after the whole shambles across in Birmingham.

I'm going to a voting station either way.

I don't know, because our "proper" voting forms came through last week.
