However, we were astounded and pleasantly surprised to find out it wasn't the case, and instead of what I feared might produce c. 5% turnout, we had more like 28%, which for that area is pretty damn good.
We had some opinionated voters in (to be expected) and the odd one who thought it was another Referendum, (not to be expected), but otherwise a very civilised afair.
Media not allowed to report on the state of play during hours of voting, so BBC ran their usual "Photos of dogs at poll stations" thread!

No?
Strange that, I definitely posted it. Perhaps it'll turn up tomorrow :)"
Yeh....oh look..is that a coupla men in white coats heading in your direction, i think i can see, Grizzly?! :-D
But thanks for the wishes anyhoo! :)
Speaking of million squids....it's the 1st of the month again.....one day those useless premium bonds, may finally pay dividends! Fingers and toes and other things..crossed! :)

It was easy because we genuinely have had absolutely enough of all the superfluous spin, the appalling apathy, the terrible lies and the many disgraceful accounts of the abuse of power that we have had to witness and to endure from quite a few of our local and national Politicians just over the last couple of decades alone and we all felt that we just couldn't commit ourselves this time around to voting for any one of them.
And not easy because as angry, and frustrated, and as disgusted as we are by them all, we are extremely proud of, have great respect for and appreciate our right to vote - and we want to make sure that, if we never managed to do anything else by voting, we can still always try our very best to at least keep even worse folk out of gaining favour, and control, and power.
I often wish that there was somewhere on the Ballot Paper to also register such feelings rather than just having the choice of voting or not voting - and then having to listen to so many utterly deluded, or in complete denial, Politicians putting their own twisted spin and interpretations onto what the final Results mean.

Perhaps it'll be the Hair of the Dog for today's Hangover? ;o>
not the hair of the dog as such, but the dog was involved! 💩b.t.w. put up a pic of the zombie on my profile, the scabby wee.........
Awww, I think I'm in love! - he is absolutely adorable! ;o> ... ;o> ... ;o>An all black Face? - he looks so very much just like the Cat that I grew with - my very own beloved childhood companion that we brought back as a tiny Kitten from a Holiday ... in Scotland! - LOL!!!
Belated birthday wishes Duke, you share a birthday with my eldest daughter, hope you had a great day! :-)
A quick bob in and bob out ... "HIYAH! - off to get ready to go get my Hair cut - BIYAH!"
;o>
(*quickly spray paints ... "Suzy woz 'ere" ... on Forum Wall on way out*)
Nobody here? ... (*grabs HUGE slab of Fruit Cake out of the Forum Cake Tin and runs off*)
! ... ;o>
(*stuffs it all in Mouth and tries to look innocent*)(*Mouth full mumble*) ... Cake? ... (*chew, chomp*) ... what Cake? ...
(* ! BURP ! *) ... I have abso-lute-telly no idea?!! ... (*HICCUP*) ... !
I only came in just to show off my Hair Cut! ;o>

Why else do you think that I visit and post on SO many Threads?!!
Oooh? - another Bargain?!! ;o> ... Holland & Barrett - 20% off everything online AND Free Delivery as well!
According to 'moneysavingexpert.com' ... if you go online to Health and Beauty Retailer, Holland & Barrett, you can use the MSE Blagged code ... MSEHB ... to get 20% off everything including Sale Items plus free standard delivery as well (normally £2.99) until 11.59pm on Sunday the 2nd of June. Delivery will be taken off after you've entered your address and just before you pay.
What’s more, you can also use the code on top of its 'Penny Sale' (buy one item get one for a penny) so, by combining all of the Discounts, you could make a pretty healthy saving ;o>
I already know what I'm going to be buying ...
EDIT : the promise of Free Delivery did not work for me however ;o<
Do Holland & Barrett sell cake, then? :)
Sort-of and kinds-of Cake but nothing that is the real deal.I'm a bit cross because I just ordered a 3 for 2 deal on ...
... and I got the 20% off BUT NOT the Free Delivery that was promised?! ;o<
I saved 72p but have been charged £2.99 for Delivery?! ;oOI'm calling the Chocolate Fruit & Nut Squad!
According to the Internet ... ;o> ... tomorrow is going to be the hottest day of the year so far?I've got my Summer Tunic, Flip Flops, and Factor 50 Sun Cream Spray ... and my Jumper, Wellies and Bobble Hat with Ear Muffs on standby!
Was hanging out laundry at six this morning and now all the jobs are done we're off out for the day to Sheffield to see family :)
"WHAT?!!" ... why is there a packet of Instant Porridge on my Breakfast Tray, a Mug with 2 Teabags in it, and a sign over the Kettle saying "BOIL ME" ... ?!! ;oO
Email received today ;o> ..."Hi Suzy, Thank you for your email.

... YAYYY!!! ;o>
YAYYY AGAIN!!! ... I've just been refunded the £2.99! ;o>
(*YAWN! ... sigh*) ... what time are they coming back, Phoebe? - have we got time to overdose ourselves on yet another tin of Tuna? ... (*rummages lazily through the discarded pile of empty food packets, tubs and cartons*) ... Oooh? - and is there any Ice Cream left in the Freezer? ... ;o>
I love cat-sitting ... do you think I'll be wanted at the same time tomorrow as well? We'd better do an online Shop with this Credit Card that I just found and maybe we could order in some Takeaways next time around too? ;o>
Right, let's just read the Home Alone Cat Manual one more time, shall we? ... Okay? ... well we've clawed and kicked up all of the Bedding on every Bed and dumped most of it on the Floor ... and we've left our Nose Prints all over the French Windows ... and you've just stepped in your Water Bowl, then into your Litter Tray, and trod all the wet sticky mess into the Carpet in the Hall AND the Lounge as well ... fantastic! ...
Ohhh hang on? - did you also remember to barf into one of your Dad's Slippers as a special present for him? ... Oooh? - and leave a half-eaten Mouse under your Mum's Pillow just in case she starts to feel a bit peckish during the night? ... Yep?! ... our work here is done!!! ;o>
Methinks, young lady, somebody's been overdoing the catnip!
Hiyah Martin! ... come in, make yourself at Home! ;o>I have had a good rummage around in all the Cupboards but I didn't find any Banana Milkshake here either? There's plenty of Milk in the Fridge and a big bunch of lovely looking Bananas though ... so if we can find you a Blender you can make us a jugful and then we can drink our fill while we go through all of Grizzly's DVDs ;o>
... Whoops? - I still have a bit of Jam on my Fingers?! ... (*wipes DVD on a nearby Sofa Cushion*) ... Ahhh, that's better! - all clean again ...
Takes bunch of bananasAdd one punnet of strawberries
Mash thoroughly
Mix in carton of double cream
Now pass me a large spoon!
Just recently discovered the humble chive. Roughly chopped into 2mm pieces can be a tasty addition to egg or tuna mayonnaise with a dash of cayenne pepper. Great for summer sandwiches.
MORE Tuna?! ... YAYYY!!! ... Phoebe is doing her happy dance! ;o>
Perhaps we should have used the Lid on the Blender? ...Is the Egg Mayonnaise supposed to shoot up out of the Blender like that and stick to the Ceiling? It goes rather well with all of the Banana Milkshake splashes, doesn't it? ... adds kind-of a bright yellow pebbledash spatter effect! ;o>
I think you'd better go a bit easier on the Cayenne Pepper, Martin?Phoebe's just barfed in Grizzly's other Slipper and dived headfirst into the Birdbath! ... I never knew Cats could blow Steam out of their Ears like that, did you?!! ;o>
She's just staggered back? - she's still purring! ... what a party this is!We just need tech to come and put some Reggae on full blast now ;o>
To The Pussyfoot Prance ( Frost/White)
I'd better open all the Windows wide so the Neighbours can enjoy!
GRIZZLY'S BACK! - He's just turned up on the NES Thread! ;oOLet's all hide and then we can jump out and surprise him!!!
Never again will I leave the spare key under the doormat - NEVER!!!
;o> ... ! ! ! S U R P R I S E ! ! ! ... ;o>
One large Vintage Port & Banana Milkshake coming up! ;o>
I don't mind the mess too much, it'll tidy, but you could have brought the laundry in.
I'm disappointed with you :)
I'm disappointed with you :)
(*hangs Head*) ... b-b-but I looked after Phoebe for you? ...She has stayed awake and hasn't stopped purring all afternoon!
You might need a new pair of Slippers though ...

They were only playthings for Phoebe anyway - rarely worn by me but often worn by Phoebe on her head! :)
