Roberto hates to see late deliveries and normally finds a way to make it through. The people of Anchorage will receive their consignment of speedos after all!

The headline news this week is that Patrick McLoughlin not only retained his seat but received exactly the same number of votes this time as he did last time.  Mr Mcloughlin said that he had no idea of what the odds were of something like that happening but that he might buy a lottery ticket next week and “see what happens”.  There is also some election coverage inside the paper although “no mention of people being turned away from polling stations.”  There were certainly no local reports of crowds of voters running amok at The Sycamore or Bradbourne Village Hall this week where the ladies manning the polling station told me it had been a “quiet day, quite boring really”.
