The second stint I just spent was alongside Claire Dutton, who is a Town Councillor for the Tories, and she is the wife of Jeff Dutton, who is a District Councillor, and hope to be Chairman of the District Council in the near future.
It is often hard to tell what people are thinking before they go into the Polling Booths, but there are some who clearly show their intentions.
The pictures above tell their own story. Ben's mate Harrison, who plays in goal for the mighty Brampton Spartans, lives with his mum and step dad, Michelle and Trevor, on the main road into town. When we met on the touchline on Tuesday following Spartans fantastic victory over Alconbury (we've now played 19, won 15, drawn three, lost one all season) they told me they had already voted for me as a postal vote, but could they put a board up?
Too damn right, and later that day, it was installed.
The other picture is me coming out of the polling station at 11.45 a.m. with Barry Mitchell. Barry was the original bass guitarist with Queen, and still plays a mean bass. However, his latest venture is the Retro Sweet Shop in Huntingdon, and I am off there shortly to get some lucky LibDem cinder toffee.
The adrenalin is rushing through me, and it's proving to be a battle royale.
The inexperienced first timer versus the likeable Tory Mayor of Huntingdon.
Let's hear it for the boy.......GREEEEENAAAWL, GREEEEENAAAWL, GREEEEENAAAWL!
