Given the state of the country I think Mayday is appropriate.

Nor here.

Mind you, the Tory share of the polls has never fallen below 99.8% in any election here since Victoria was Queen.

I just did too - amidst thunder and lightning overhead  scared2:

3 A4 pages worth of ballot papers  ::). 1st & 2nd place for the Mayor, Local then London wide; some people were looking somewhat confused and spending far too long hunched over their papers  confused:

Also... why did I only get a 2" stubby pencil? ... already separated from its string?  evil:

At my Barnet polling station we were told that the ballot papers did not arrive on time due to "a problem at the printers". Um... how long have we known about this election?! Surely the ballot papers must have been printed weeks ago to be sent out to postal voters? And it was obvious when they did arrive that the officers had never had any training as they spent time sorting out the different forms. You couldn't make it up...
