Ten years ago today I took this photo of what was on the telly. Still cracks me up even now. Childish, I know.

I feel like this should be the subject of one of those 'Public Information Films' that terrified us as kids - 'Have you cleaned out your toaster lately?' 😆😆

Mayoral election leaflet came today (May 1st, election day). But, it advises, if you want a postal vote, you have to register by... April 14th. Anybody got a TARDIS I can borrow?
