Has anyone spoilt their ballot paper, if so, what did you do?

Someone on here proposed drawing a massive cock. But it turns out, in my seat there's not enough space. Either that, or he had an optimistic idea of what constitutes massive.

Yes, I was there at 7.25 am with my Tory, anti-STW hand-wringing, liberal, left wing vote! ๐Ÿ™‚

The polling station in Todmorden town hall was like walking into a 1950s timewarp. It did make me wonder why places like the US need to use fangled voting machines when all you need is a pencil, a bit of paper and a man with a beard to cross your name off a list and make sure you put your ballot paper it in the right box. I hope it's the same in 50 years time.

Job jobbed.

I'm absolutely flabbergasted that my housemate, having been winding folk at work up (we share an employer too), by asking them if they will be voting, and then on them answering yes he responds with 'UKIP?' Can't be arsed drag his fat arse 200 yards to the polling station to vote. Evidently his bed is too comfy. At 7pm. Unbelievable.

Marginal seat too, 0.774 worth of a vote.

Went in the morning, first they couldn't find me, then I was down twice.

I'm not convinced the new registration system is better...

Voted in the local Tescos at 7.30.

Left with a pack of jam doughnuts, two Dairy Milk bars, some new biro's and the new Seasick Steve album.

The guys manning it had been very bored and drunk A LOT of Costa coffee.

Made it! Had to stay late at work, then bomb home. Some chunk of the A30 near Reading was closed with NO diversion signs resulting in going around the houses to another route which was affected by the same closure.. Then they were resurfacing the M4 which caused a nasty jam.. And I needed diesel. I had to eat a fair few of those words posted on speeding threads. A middle class STW dilemma: neglect democratic responsibility, or speed?

Actually no, but the roads down there are windy and tight so there's little overtaking.
