Easiest tick ever.
We aren't voting in this area. Don't know why?
I googled and the voting website seems to think we are in Hertfordshire, but our police service have been taken over by the Met. I guess only London boroughs vote for the Met chief....I now feel disenfranchised.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

Strange how we now take some things for granted
Emily Davison threw herself in front of the King's horse Anmer during the Derby in June 1913 to draw attention to the suffragette campaign. Although this front page says that Davison survived, she was in fact killed in the incident. As a result of this act Davison became a martyr for the suffragette movement.

Well, I choose. As I have dodgy eyes now, I take a slap in the worse eye, so I have one left functioning.:D
I think in not voting, in not choosing which eye to be slapped in then you choose to accept being punched in both.0 -
I think dog dog has damaged her splint.....there is a hard bump where none was before.
tomorrow I have big dog going to a vet in the other direction to be neutered ( cannot be done in normal vets because of her size) so looks like I am going to be driving from vet to vet back to first vet to collect tomorrow.
Curly dog got his first jabs today and wept the whole time we waited in the waiting room. Whata wimp!0 -

Yeah but if you do vote you also get a kick in the nuts for good measure.
I'm with PN on this one.
Politics is a corrupt nasty business where the biggest charlatans usually worm their way to the top.
