General Election - 8th June

[oldbluefox]

I wouldn't be at all surprised if we end up with more or less the same Conservative majority we had before this election. That will have made it all really worthwhile then !!

Except they won't be able to accuse May of not having a mandate.

Tune into Moorlands Radio Towny. I'll be there doing my Jeremy Vine impression (though not his cha cha) with my mate doing his David Dimbleby. But to be honest I don't think you need to listen beyond 5 past 10. We'll be starting with the exit poll and for the last two elections that's been spot on.

Are you and your Swingalongmeter on all night Merv ?

Through till 7am. Oh joy.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Is Biddulph / Mow Cop the Centre of the Universe, election-wise .... one politely enquires

I think we're about 145 on the list of Labour target seats. So not terribly marginal! But it's the most important seat for our listeners. Both of them

Not sure what this tells you but I can't remember an election where I have had less interest in the campaigning and rhetoric but more interest in the result.

[Stephen]

Is there an election!

So you're sleeping in today ?

[Mervyn and Trish]

I did. Went to bed at 3 am. Got up at 11. Just like cruising really

[qbman1]

You'll be suffering Radio-lag on Friday!

[Mervyn and Trish]

Tune in Saturday brek to hear the worst of it

[qbman1]

Will you be sounding like Barry White again ?!

[Stephen]

More like Stevie Wonder

Spotted on Twaddle today.....

This is not a 12 year old's answer to the question "What is borrowing?" The man who wants to be Prime Minister actually said this.

I though Merv was doing an Exit Poll chat show for a couple of hours pre midnight rather than a full night shift ... oh well, never mind, we'll all be having a nice sleep pending an early-ish breaky with the early results

True dedication to the cause. What cause I'm not quite sure.

It appears he is assuming a massive youth turnout to produce his result, of course as Andrew Neil pointed out, most of the extra youth vote will be in already safe Labour seats.

I don't think he will get too much joy from the youth turnout - they are already on the Isle of Wight ready for the start of the Isle of Wight Pop Festival tomorrow. Gridlock around Newport, stories about elderly people being sent home from our local hospital to make way for the druggies and drunks who might need help and, oh joy, it is raining and that always adds to the chaos.

I envy Merv, long gone are the days of my ''All Nighters ''

On that basis I think I envy you!

There's an old Chinese curse that says " May you live in interesting times". I do believe that it has come to pass.
