    :rotfl: It's ok Souk :) If you knew me, you'd know that would not be the case.

    I wanted to shake her. Not for not being interested in politics, just for not having the gumption to say "I'm voting for X" or "They're all carp - I'm not voting".
    Anything except "I do what I'm told". She's hardly a shrinking violet, so that's what disappointed me the most.

    Ah well, live and let live...

    LOL. I know the very sort...like I say they really annoy me in my shop. It's not as if the men they bring are style icons!
    My mum and Dad have always voted for different parties. She tells him it's none of his business! My bro is a died in the wool activist, socialist type and my Dad is a True Blue Tory....let's just say it's interesting when they get together!!!

    Well we have just been to vote, it wasn't until I actually got in the car park that I made my final decision. I did what I thought was right for me and my family, but this has always been a conservative area and it is hard not to think why bother as it's never been any different.

    I did meet the UKIP candidate in Mr T's car park, his dog was going nutty in his car and its called Fiona, and he had one of those mad moustaches :D
