We went out early to vote so we walked to the leisure centre passports in hand and did our bit. Being able to vote is a luxury we forget, and one hard fought for. Even though they all pee in one pot so to speak, once in power, I would rather use my vote, and my voice, even though they are trying very hard to make it harder to vote, especially the lower classes. That's why they want voters to have photo ID because they know most people below a certain income won't bother applying for ID. It's a crafty way of silencing the very people who need the government's help the most.
Well, they're not stopping me.
After that was done, we got the bus and went into town, we didn't do much shopping on Tuesday, and there were a few bits we needed. Including stuff for our buffet on Monday when we will watch the Coronation with Charlotte, being as we are at work Saturday and Sunday. I don't know if they are doing a party for the residents here or not, but we shall have our own little drop of fizz, along with a sort of afternoon tea affair, including a Coronation Colin cake from M&S. The Sadies have their crowns and flags and we have a king bear with robe and coronet. I'm not keen on Charles or Camila and would much rather it be William and Kate, but, it is history in the making, and I might not be here to see another. And I do love all the pomp and ceremony. Like it or not, it brings in a lot of money into the country, and at least we have a history. I don't really think Charles will be a patch on his Mother, but it is what it is, hopefully they'll be a monarchy to hand on to William when he snuffs it..
