I hope that's not a decision your hairy furren friend forced you to make on his behalf as he's worried about his passport and fears he might be trapped here, only able to sniff the bottoms of hairy English dogs!

No...he has a EU passport.

If there's anybody to speak to at the polling place, I might ask them to give me "3 reasons that I find relevant to me that should be my reasons to vote for them" .... just in case.

I know what I'll vote, but it'll pass some time.

I don't think they're allowed to do that at this stage, Pastures.

Re the diagnosis issues .... it's tricky isn't it. I'd probably crash the car on the way there panicking .... then, once there, NOTHING would go into my head that anybody was saying to me (so a waste of time as I couldn't recall a single word afterwards) .... and then I'd not realise/understand what the diagnosis was, so would ask them to repeat it 2-3x to make sure I HAD understood what they'd said.

After that, nothing they said would sink in .... and then I'd be out in my car, potentially to crash on the way home as I'd not be concentrating on driving.

It takes a lot of people more than an hour to get to a hospital, then an hour home again .... that's a lot of potential disasters being caused on the roads as those people aren't really concentrating.

That's a known problem. Not absorbing medical information that you are told due to being in a stressful situation.

I still fail to understand why people who couldn't be @rsed to register to vote in a general election suddenly find a burning need to register for this referendum.

Once enfranchised, I wonder what effect these people will have on the next general election.

Post your woes clearly and succinctly. Hopefully clitheroekid will take up cudgels on your behalf. He's blimmin' amazing.

Thanks for that link. Searching it looks like they would be liable for all the costs.

My DW loves finding spelling mistakes. She scours restaurant menus and is rarely disappointed.

When I was a Scout Leader we had regular meetings of all the section leaders. After a while they refused to let me have a copy of the minutes of the last meeting - because I could always find at least three spooling mistales :rotfl:

Weirdly I do generally see spelling mistakes when I read anything back after I have posted/emailed but I can read things back a hundred times before posting and not spot anything.

I'm worse than that - occasionally, I will type something, usually a fairly short, simple word, then think "is that right?" I then look at it for ages until, sometimes, I manage to convince myself that what I had actually typed correctly in the first place was incorrect :mad:


Note - any spelling errors above were intentional

Not a lot - they probably won't bother to turn up next time.

It's unfortunate but given the costs of posting versus the possible gain I'd give it a go personally, even if you just have your informed prejudice reinforced.
