    LOL - read the thread title - Make over £200 on the election? - and thought this was a betting tip!!

    Wasn't sure if John Higgin's was standing as a candidate somewhere, and it was a sure fire one to back!! :cool:

    I am counting votes at the election Thursday night and they are paying over £200 in my area.I emailed my council yesterday to see if my daughter and friend could apply ,and within an hour they got a phone call saying yes,my daughter then sent an email asking if her partner could help and he was offered the job too.Thats £600 for one family for one nights work.
    So why noyt give your local council a try,as they could be short of helpers too.

    ill give you an extra 200 quid if you all acidently forget to count the tory votes :rofl:
