The Country waits.........but for what I wonder? The World Cup in June, and news of the first footie fan to be mugged for his or her scarf ? I do hope they are not seriously hurt. Alternatively we could be waiting for England to win the World Twenty/20 in the West indies. I suspect the ladies will have a better chance than the chaps, so who said its not a game for girls Mr Peterson.
No, I think the Country is waiting for the excitement and cracking repartee and riposte which will engulf us all as we prepare for the general election on May 6th . I know I am. President Obama does not care much for our Gordon, so will he become a pub quiz question by virtue of being added to the list of Prime Ministers who have never been elected? He must be hoping we all like him a bit more than they do over the pond.
I can't wait for the battle buses to pull up outside our house and the massed ranks of canvasser's descend on us with their questions and answers and bits of paper and coloured rosette's. It's all a bit like FA Cup Final day.
Consider as well that we have the joy of television debates featuring the party leaders, and no election would be complete without the BBC swingometer now would it?
So yes, the Country waits, and as Haggar The Horrible once said, while sitting in a bar, 'All things come to those who wait, and this looks as good a place to wait as any'
