Preparedness for when

Anyone slightly perturbed that they record your voter number with your slip? I asked them about this once and they told me that the information wouldn't be released without a court order.

However... I'm sure a little thing like that wouldn't have worried the likes of Hitler or Stalin.

Queues at my polling station when I went in this early this morning - and that aint a sight I'm used to seeing very much over here in West Wales.

Definition of queues here - about 6 in front of me and 6 behind me waiting to vote. Steady stream of people hoving into view.

I think it's probably going to be a record turnout across the country.

Have made my plans for tomorrow according to how the vote goes. If we're "out" then let out the adrenaline with a hefty burst of exercise (plenty of built-in excuses to punch the air in victory LOL). If we stay in - console myself with a walk in nice countryside and make plans to ramp up the prepping as much as I can.

They appointed the judges, getting a court order wouldn't have been an issue for them, nor would it currently be a problem for the police or security services.

Thanks Nuatha. Just searched, and I'm amazed to see Hitler knows all about Brexit. This tickled me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djwkhXkvPkI

I was the only one at our polling station early this morning. Just assumed people would go when on their normal school run or whatever. DH has just gone to vote so I'll ask him if there are queues now.

Politically, Cameron is a dead man walking, whether he accepts it yet or not. But he'll have his former prime-ministerial pension-for-life and his family wealth to comfort him.

Yup can't see Sam Cam going to Aldi's or Lidls for her shopping .They live in a totally different land to the rest of us.

Your heart bleeds for the poor wee darlings, doesn't it? I was also swayed (not) by Posh & Becks' opinion. Because I always value the contribution of multi-millionaire celebrity couples, who normally domicile on the other side of the planet, to the national political debate.

Indeed it does Greyqueen, they too don't live on the same planet as the rest of us.
Can all these so-called 'experts' who have been blethering for the past few weeks getting their ten minutes of fame on the TV please now go and lie down in a darkened room and give the rest of us a bit of peace and quiet

I have made full use of my Tivo box with all the movies I recorded over the Christmas period and didn't have time to watch.What with the referendum and the sport its been very handy;)

Don't suppose any of the people planning to stay up all night and watch the election results are willing to do "sentry duty" and post up "how its all going - on the hour every hour" type info. for us on here?

I expect there might be a few of us not planning on staying up all night - but maybe waking up once or twice in the night and wondering how things are going to date....and it would be useful to have a Quick Check-in Point for this.

What will happen will happen if we are there to watch it or not. I'll get the results from Dh with my morning cuppa. Unless the pub behind us have a referendum lock in I always know who's winning the footie matches by the cheers or boos from there so that could be a good indication of how it went.
This is assuming that the snap poll the Fruit and veg guy did holds true, then I'll know what the cheers or boos mean in this area.
