Election Day Quandary

Later this morning we will solemnly troop to the church down the road in order to cast our votes in the 2019 General Election, the responsibility of which we all take very seriously, as it is highly likely that it will be one of our votes that could/will change the course of history.

However, alongside having to decide who we vote for, we also have another very serious quandary to work out, to wit, whether festive garb is respectable enough apparel in which to cast said votes.

A general election can hardly be regarded as a frivolous occasion and our turning up clad in our obligatory December attire could well be frowned upon by the polling station adjudicators and then it would be just too embarrassing for words to be turned away for inappropriate dress.

Last night we have debated long into the night, over a pre-election snowball or two, discussing as to whether we ought to temporarily change into more somber outfits to befit the proceedings and then quickly change back afterwards. It was quite a conundrum to ponder.

However, in the end we all agreed on Nigel's idea..........which was to continue wearing our festive garb but carefully hidden under our outerwear, then as we approach the polling station we quickly stuff our Santa hats deep into our pockets, zip our jackets right up to our chins ........

....... and inspect each other rigorously for anything of an indelicate yuletide nature that may still be showing.

Then as soon as we have done our duty to God and The Queen and are back outside we can revert to how we are best prefer to present ourselves during the festive season.

Well done Nigel a most excellent strategy .......  now to put it into action ............
