What's in a name?

And so the first round of pre-electoral communications goes into the recycling bin. Our local Lib Dem candidate, it seems, is called Belcher, which doesn't have quite the freshly-scented liberal-romantic ring that one might have hoped for.

The Green candidate was due to be called Green, which would at least have been an honest approach if only she hadn't weed-killed her own candidacy at the last moment. Labour's candidate had already fought off fierce competition from Ken Anarcho-Gobshite, while the incumbent Conservative candidate (and apprentice whip, ooo-er missus) was hoping to finally bury the embarrassing legacy of her predecessor, Wilfred Emmanuel Jones, who was/is better known as BBC's the Black Farmer.

I may have made one of those up. Meanwhile, Sir Marcus Ffysshe-Ffarte (DSO and bar, mostly) was not available for comment.

We remain leaflet free, a very long drive, potholes provided, discourages most aided by OH's notice at the start. "If you're selling anything I don't want it. I don't do religion, anyone ignoring this notice be advised we have an extremely fierce ram who is territorial".

ps. We don't have a ram but we do have Gerald a rather noisy gander.

You are Sir Bufton Tufton in disguise, and I claim my £5.
