A photographer from Getty came over to take pictures of me out canvassing (well, not really me in particular; just someone standing for the Green Party). So of course you must have classic 'kissing the baby' shot.
Then you need something a little different. I was actually shouting through the letterbox of the pub to open up because I was gasping.And then the bit that made me laugh was coming across not one but two Lib Dem people.
It was good to see they had managed to find the village 24 hours before the ballot and so I congratulated them on putting out leaflets nicking my policies and claiming credit for things they have never done and hoped they didn't mind finishing third. That handshake was one of those where you just don't want to be the first to let go. My face isn't agony; that's manic laughter that this madness will soon all be over.
