th 7 May 2015	10:17am The Framlingham poll officer is already having to poke ballots in with a ruler, it does matter just bloody VOTE! 03:23pm We're hoping to see proxies (when a person nominates someone else to vote for them) of the emergency kind in use in Stradbroke. 06:50pm Earlier we spoke to prospective parish councillor Richard Pierce-Saunderson outside the Stradbroke poll. He was about to vote as an emergency proxy on some one else's behalf, we found it exciting. There was a steady stream in out of the Stradbroke poll, very quiet in Wilby, quiet in Brundish and steady in Dennington. 08:21pm Queue back to the door in Framlingham polling station. You have to be in the queue by 10pm to get a ballot paper ... not long to go. 10:19pm Too late now, Riverside Framlingham.

Outside the marquee garden flares made the setting striking and the pig roast was getting a good seeing to. Inside there was a high tech disco projecting pics of the dancers, draught Adnams and inevitably much good times (despite the difficulties of high heels on grass) to the straight ahead, good time music of The Outlaws (liked the acapella You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling and the crowd, as they always do to our continued surprise, knew the words.
