The constituency I’m in has (currently), the only Conservative MP in Scotland, so this morning I had a reporter from a Scottish Sunday paper, in getting my views. I had to tell him the truth which was that yes, I will probably vote, and no I have not a clue who I’ll vote for….. He asked what I thought about the TV Debates and the resulting surge in support for the Lib Dems. I said I felt that they were not helpful to voters making a decision as unlike the US, we are not electing a President, but a political party, and the bottom line is, the Libdems have no track record of government. I enjoyed pontificating, I must say. At the end of the interview, he asked my age and I refused to give it. On a “bookie” note we went down to Carlisle yesterday to an Auction Viewing specialising in books. I go because I can sometimes fill stock gaps, like “Trains” and “Buses” . I left a number of reserve bids for the following day, then we drove over to Northumbria, and I had a good rummage round Charity shops. They tend to sell books for buttons and my best find was one which sold 4 paperbacks for £1! (I think it’s safe to assume I don’t…) So we came back with a goodly haul, which I have now to price and shelve.
