I registered. I even got the email saying where I should go to vote.

My friends who don't have a Brit passport registered and managed to vote.

We didn't. So I went to the council and demanded answers and they just shrugged when I said others who don't have passports got to vote, so I told them to shove their vote up their arse if the are going to pick and choose.

I have yet to speak to my friend who works at the council when I confronted him about it, haven't spoken to him since the Brexit vote.

They have the audacity to send us polling cards after last time. **** off.

The other thing I love about Bank Holidays,is when I take the dog out,he hates heavy traffic,normal days it can be chronic crossing roads,whereas Bank Holidays make the roads where I am much quieter and easier.
Also no need to wait in for the post either on Bank Holidays.
Yes,I'd vote for more of them.

Then again I won't be here in the Autumn though.

I don't know anyone who had o produce passports to vote in the referendum, sounds like they messed up your registration

You mean if Corbyn was PM I would have worked 12hrs at double time today?!!!

Oi, May! FOFF!!

jaxie 23-04-2017 07:06 PM

This seems like a sort of voters bribary to me and treating voters like fools again. We have no policies but we'll give you a few days off. Not liking it.

Perhaps. Ah well, they'll lose our families votes, not like they care, but I don't care either, let the country go into chaos if they are going to choose who is allowed to vote and who isn't (when they are eligible anyway).

Shame if you feel strongly you should vote, don't let some trainee who didn't do their job put you off

On the coastal roads and such maybe, doubt he walks his dog along A roads or motorways.
England at present has the fewest bank hols compared to the rest of the UK.
Here is how we compare with the rest of the world.

Maybe where you are, certainly the main trunk roads will be.
Where I am with some businesses not open and no school runs being done the roads around me have at least only a quarter of the usual chaos there is.

I'm not travelling anywhere Bank Holidays,I was on about taking the dog out.
Mine for one is far more relaxed around the much lesser traffic on Bank Holidays,than the endless line of cars we come across on other days.
Sundays also being a far quieter day for traffic too.

He could offer me an ell expenses-paid month in the Maldives and I still wouldn't vote for him.

Niamh. 24-04-2017 10:43 AM

I would like a 4 day week :hee:

Kizzy 24-04-2017 10:43 AM

My local Tory MP is under investigation for electoral fraud... I shan't be voting for him.

An ordinary individual under investigation of fraud would almost for sure not be allowed to continue in the same job,being at the very least suspended.

Obviously that mustn't apply to Conservative representatives.

I doubt he was relying on your vote.

Why...Is my working class council house dwelling vote not good enough or summat? :/

No, because you're not a Tory supporter, you're a Labour supporter... making the massive assumption that no one working class or living in a council house ever voted Tory.
