if your voting on Thursday PLEASE take your own pens/pencils

It may be a bit OTT but I’l take my own pen. The problems within our town council leave me wary of using pencil !

Thank you eazybee for your moral support,
prevention is always better than a cure.

It is a simple attempt to prevent the spread of infection; why sneer?

Hear hear- if you were so paranoid you could have had a postal vote and disinfected the paper!

With most people vaccinated and the incidence of COVID down to very low levels, 2,144 cases, country wide yesterday, and anyway the disease is distributed through breathing in the virus, not touching it, this is plain ridiculous.

I agree totally OTT

Quite agree,*BB*. It is ridiculous! Jobsworths and bean counters come to mind!

I will take one .....but it s ridiculous you hold the door handles when you go in a shop which thousands touch you touch the bell to stop the bus which hundreds will press, if you use money, you pick up a packet of cereal that the lady before you picked up and decided they didn’t want
When you enter the polling station you will open the door you may even touch the desk you rest your paper on and whatever you do don’t have a wee while you’re out

If you are nervous about touching things wear gloves otherwise just get on with it and wash your hands when you get home
