I'd love to have been able to vote for the Lib-Dem candidate in my constituency (well - not _love_ but I'm glad it wasn't Labour), but my ballot paper only arrived in Germany on Tuesday evening :P
Yesterday was a clusterfuck of trying to see if I could hope to spend 55 euro to have it delivered by DHL Express, confounded by the local place I got up before 08:00 for undergoing new hardware and training, so it wasn't available before 13:00 and THEN the label printer still wasn't set up and wouldn't be ready the day after. The next place seemed to suggest they were looking after the place and the person responsible was out at lunch but I could leave it with them to be posted normally... and by the time I found a third place it looked like there was no hope that DHL could, or would, deliver it in time - in a safe Tory seat with FPTP🙃
So, if Surrey Heath loses to the Tories by a single vote, I'm sorry, but I really did try 😋
