Excuse me?

This won't do at all, it's a situation where, 'the mountain should come to Mohammed', she wants the job, rindy is prepared to interview her for it.

Get her off her backside and out amongst the people she claims she wants to wholeheartedly represent.

:mad:

Very true.

Unfortunately I never got to ask the last Conservative candidate my questions face to face, but had to email poor James Mawdsley, because he never came a knockin'.

You can't beat meeting someone face to face, to help further judge their sincerity.

I'll give this candidate a little longer, before having to settle for finding out answers to my questions, in a less personal way.

Though as I did with James Mawdsley, who lied on his election pamphlets, I'm willing to share my answers by posting the replies on Accy Web.

I'm sure she will. Was just pointing out how Garinda could contact her if he wanted the questions answered right now.

It must be reassuring for him to get advice from our local, 'Political Expert', however would he have managed without the input from a guy spending a couple of gap years away from serving behind the counter at Macdonalds?

As stated, as I had to resort to other ways of communicating at the last General Election, rather than asking the Conservative candidate my questions face to face, I'm quite aware that there are other, less personal mediums available to us, the electorate.

I'm just hoping it doesn't come to this again.

I remain hopeful of hearing a genteel tap on my knocker, in the very near future.

It must be exciting.

I can't recall that particular member being very vocal, or as helpful in doling out advice, at the last General Election.

Perhaps they were to busy kickin' a ball about, in the playground.

My house didn't get a knock from any of the candidates, or their teams, last time. More than often candidates go with teams canvassing and therefore it's not always the candidate who knocks on your particular door.

Less, I clearly missed a trick. I could have been working there and earning a degree at the same time. :D McDonald’s A level in running a burger bar - Times Online

I was fortunate then, to speak to all the other main candidates, other than the Conservative candidate, and ask my questions face to face, at the last General Election.

Perhaps you personally didn't get this chance, because at the last General Election your age meant you were ineligible to vote, so it wasn' worth their while knocking on your door to speak to you personally.

Yes but you'll find when most politicans are out canvassing, and a child opens the door, they'll usually ask if their mummy or daady is in, so they can try and secure the vote of those people who are actually eligible to go to the polling station on election day.

Probably about as much use as these NVQ'S on fire extinguisher spotting that folk are being encouraged to do.

I've helped a few people on a variety of those courses and they and I can tell you the different types of fire extinguishers there are, but none of us seemed to learn anything useful, (that's not saying fire extinguishers aren't useful), about their particular jobs!

Besides asking if someone wants, "Potatoes, canola oil, hydrogenated soybean oil, safflower oil, natural flavour (vegetable source),
dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate (maintain colour), citric acid (preservative), dimethylpolysiloxane (antifoaming
agent) and cooked in vegetable oil (Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil with THBQ, citric
acid and dimethypolysiloxane)", with that?" Instead of fries,
just because you can, isn't clever.

Just explaining why perhaps you personally didn't see any candidate at the last election, besides your ineligibily...you might have been playing out when they called, or tucked up in bed at the time.
