so this is even better then as its for weekend rooms - I think I had 3 months in my head as its the summer months there are gaps in my calendar.

I am wondering if London hotels are on the list?

I also thought about York Hilton but like you I wondered if it feel like wasting the vouchers - mind you I've seen York travelodges charge £150 for a Saturday night so the Hilton would be even worse.

The other thought I had was doing a transatlantic cruise and using !!!!!! deals to pay for at least half, 2 nights in New York and then cruise back again - I think that one is a bit of a fantasy though

All hotels are on the list, including London. If I hadn't used it for our Wembley concert I probably would have booked a posh London hotel for the night for me and DD!

People professing opinions on politics was never going to end well, no matter which party was being championed (or slated) on here. The whole point of living in a democracy with free elections is that we are each entitled to our own view and [2] able to give our opinion, and vote for who we want, unlike in some places in the world, but we have to accept some people will have different views and vote differently too.

[2] The electorate have spoken across the UK and have voted in a majority conservative government. They have also, in Scotland, voted in mainly SNP MPs but are a key country making up the UK and therefore still have a majority Conservative government overall and they will no doubt push their agenda in opposition with other opposition parties too. Most of the north of England voted in Labour MPs, most of the south Consevative, Wales Labour and Northern Ireland DUP and others. Whether you voted for the winning party in each constituency or the country overall, this is the result for all of us across the UK.

Don't be too victorious or disappointed (whether you "won" or "lost") and get on with your lives - all MPs are there to represent all of us no matter their party colours and we can only hope they do this well and make it better for all of us. There are very few easy decisions in politics - we are fortunate so many were willing to step up to the challenge and we as the electorate now have to keep all sides in check and accountable.

[1] Now can we get back to glitches please ...?

[1] No, I don't think we can:rotfl:. We live in a democracy and opinions should be expressed and heard...

[2] The whole point is that we are *not* able to give our opinion and vote in who we want as, under the first-past-the-post system, more voters than not vote for parties that do not form the winning government.

The electorate have not spoken, because a government other than what most voters (leave alone most people) wanted has, again, been elected. The few people in marginal constituencies in southern England have been allowed their say (and therefore only these people allowed to speak) as some votes are worth more than others and most votes are wasted votes. Over four million people voted for UKIP, yet they have even fewer seats than the Liberal Democrats. In contrast, only about three million people voted for the SNP but, because the SNP consolidated all their votes in one region/nation of the UK, they therefore, in that area, achieved a landslide (but do not form the government of the UK because Scotland 'only' comprises about 10% of the population). (Although, if UKIP support is representative of what they might have got in Scotland etc., and vice versa, then adjusting by population 4 million in an area of 80% of the population (England) would go somewhat down compared to achieving 3 million in a proportion of 10%.)

If there were a proportional system, I think the outcome of this election would have been a Conservative and UKIP government just reaching the winning point. But then Scotland will always be underrepresented as Scotland forms a minority of the population of the UK. (Though then there's the Scottish Parliament and the West Lothian question arises again - and Scottish MPs over English laws etc.) I'm not sure whether Conservative and UKIP would have been better or worse than what we now have. In a way there is a lot for saying that the full harshness of some policies ought not to be mitigated. Perhaps we should feel the full - in my view adverse - effects. (Although I've also said that policies wouldn't get implemented fully, and others will be over- and under-implemented anyway.)

In Scotland, people have not voted as overwhelmingly for the SNP as the translation into seats under the electoral system suggests. Under a proportional system, the SNP would have ended with about 32 seats. (In that area, suiting my own needs, I would *not* want a proportional system. I'm glad they have 56. Fwiw, and controversially, I wished the Liberal Democrats would have had even fewer. Perhaps give them a single seat - and, whilst I was wanting Nick Clegg to lose his seat, I'm glad he's now been voted into a rather useless position and moreover can't resign, as a MP, or therefore take another job as it would give a by-election and could leave them with even fewer seats - I now think, in the situation of Nick Clegg being elected and seven others, I'd rather they had just ended up with a single MP - and that being Nick Clegg - so that he would be forced to remain the leader and no-one else could possibly have been chosen without a change to the party's own rules. I like it when politicians are put in 'difficult positions':rotfl: - maybe that's what makes life interesting!:D)

As for the SNP, I agree with what Nicola Sturgeon says - she's probably slightly wrong to say that "half the population" of Scotland voted for SNP, it's probably just half of voters not the population but, for my own purposes, I'm very forgiving of that if it's a little slip - at least it's not an outright lie like some other party politicians might tell in elections - she said, today, something that I'd thought yesterday - namely that the SNP was now the effective opposition. With Labour in disarray having to go through a leadership process again, I think that's true. The representation of the views of many people in England is now best represented by the SNP. There's also the complete different directions that the nations have moved in post devolution/assembly etc. Free prescriptions Scotland/Wales. No tuition fees Scotland. Some in England may start to feel this is unfair to them. It creates divisions and chasms rather than creating a United kingdom. I think if things continue I'll move to Scotland. Now that Cameron has been elected, will the last person in England...:)

Afternoon

productive day here today. Finally I feel like I am on top of the endless garden/greenhouse jobs. I've been struggling for the time lately. Set OH to work on the manly tasks and that has helped loads
I'm just patiently waiting for my dinner now which smells very nice!

I was looking for something in the garage earlier and came across a box of those blasted s&g deodorants that glitched for......forever :eek: I really thought I'd manage to rid myself of them last year. I'll need to find somewhere to donate them to. I got as sick of that stuff as I did of Dr O pizza :rotfl::rotfl:
