As local so is national politics

Not a flyer, but a simple A5 sheet through the door entitled "Would you like to attend the first ever televised debate between the leaders of the three main political parties?"

Apparently there's room allocated to an whole 4 members of the Wyre Forest constituency. Takes place somewhere in Birmingham on the... wait for it... 29th April. Otherwise known as a Thursday.

Yup just like our local councils holding events between the hours of 10 and 4 on weekdays so to is this debate scheduled for a standard work day. Yeah okay advance notice so you can take the day off, but damnit do none of these people actually work for a living?

You should go. Have the time of work.

That's assuming I'd get picked from the applicants and that I'd get notified in time to book the day off.

Now if it'd been a Friday then woohoo long weekend. So that'd be Thursday and Friday booked off; especially as yet no times or even a specific location has been given meaning I'm bound to get back just in time to set off for work.

As I said, they just don't seem to have a concept of actual everyday work.
