It took me 25 minutes to vote this morning, the polling station type people...

did not have a clue what they were doing.

Here's my polling card, can I vote now please.

Hang on let me find your name, or should it be your address?

I don't know you are the polling station people.

Ok I think it's your address.

Found it?

No....aaah got it.

Great, can I vote now please?

No I have to draw a line that is exactly 5mm long next to your name in pencil.

*very carefully draws 5mm long line in pencil next to my name.

Great, can I have my voting slip now?

I have to put your polling number on it.

OK.

Where is it?

grrr - it's on my polling card in front of you.

(To other inept polling station person) Which one is it Marjorie?

The one beginning with 'H'

Do I have to put the 'H' on it?

No, just the number.

Which number?

The number after the 'H'

All of it?

No, the four figure number not the 'H' number.

Ok

Here you are sir.

Thank you.

Oh hang on I haven't punched it with my steam-driven lead hole punchy thing.

Ok, here you go.

Which corner should I punch Marjorie?

Top left.

Ok, done.

...or top right.

Oh.

Can I vote now please?

I need to fold this in half.

I'll unfold it again when I get to the booth then.

Yes, but be sure to fold it in half again, before you put it in the box.

Will do.

FFS!
