Ah, the joys of campaigning in nice weather. There were some 50 people out helping in my local key seat of Shipley today.
As ever, there's no shortage of stories from the doorstep. There was the householder with the worst garden in the street, full of rubbish and rusting metal, who protested that the government isn't doing enough about the environment. And there was the telesalesman complaining that the UK's near-full employment meant nobody was ever at home any more when he rang around.
It's also interesting to hear people's reaction to the various election slogans. One constituent turned "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" into "Are you remembering what I'm remembering?".
