Down to earth

Following an election campaign it's sometimes hard to get back into the swing of things. Not so in my case. Four days after the campaign I was drafting letters for the company I work congratulating all the new MPs and the returning ones on their election success. What joy.

One would think that family would be there to commisserate you on not winning - and perhaps congratulating you on your efforts. Upon finding my result on the BBC website whilst on holiday in Florida my brother promptly called me up and left the following message;-

"Hello butt-head it's me. Well done. Can't believe 12,000 muppets voted for you!"

One way to bring you down to earth.
