An election candidate, on my doorstep! I’ve never met one of those before, and certainly never had one knock on the door. Could have knocked me down with a feather 😉
It was this chap Dominic Johnson Comes over quite well in person, especially when he got to the question, so which school do you go to, addressed to Big (who obviously was overcome at being spoken to and buried her face in my jumper) I responded that she is home educated, and his response to that was “how fantastic!”
🙂
Shame about the rest of his party really.

wow, don’t think I’ve ever had a real live politician on *my* doorstep!
LOL! I have- MY sister works with lots of them nernernerner LOL
He looks a twit! Nice response though.
Nice to have someone local standing ;-P
I don’t think calling yourselves ned Conservatives is very sensible though!
According to him he lives in Ashover…just down the road. Doesn’t say that on the website though, does it?
The labour site is nedlab which I think is even worse.
Roslyn, sorry to hear about your sister.
He looks less of a twit in person, is a bit of a Hooray Henry, but I thought he was a Jolly Good Bloke. In fact, if he is the only one who can be bothered to come and ask for my vote…
Well, that’s hardly fair, they have *all* written to us asking for money…
I don’t think we’ve ever had one up here. I might vote for them out of sheer amazement if they did. Don’t all rush now, politicians of Halifax…
Our prospective labour candidate (George Michael) walked down the street as we we broke through the front door last week. He clearly thought this was quite odd but passed swiftly on the other side. Probably had someone to meet at Reading Station. So much for being tough on crime…
Reading between the lines of his bio on the website, I’d probably have to vote for him as he likes “enjoying what is left of Britain’s rural heritage, and the last days of country pursuits”. 😉
George Michael is standing for election in Reading?
never met one either on my doorstep – that breaking into your own house story is getting more and more surreal – first aided by the local vicar, now witnessed by George Michael who inbetween having international hits with songs ranging from freedom to Jesus to a child is standing for election in Berkshire. Next installment – you finally got inside your house to find your kitchen was in the dark ages while outside in the garden were the Hanging Gardens of Babylon – all with the Dr Who theme music playing in the background and an eerie green glow casting odd shadows across the whole scene….
Not exactly Tim……

That is disappointing. Never been a fan particularly, but he would have livened up the Commons.
I think we ought to play dream cabinet…
Elton John for PM, Eric Clapton for Home Secretary, Boy George for Foreign Secretary…
Britney Spears for Education Secretary???
Keith Richards for Health Minister.
