Time to take down the CY Election LiveBlog Guide (I hope people found it useful) along with the Backing Blair banner (I hope Tim Ireland woke with a grin on his face on Friday - he bloody deserved it.)

The election posters are still up near my house but I imagine they’ll be coming down soon as well. I’ll miss the Liberal Democrat ones particularly - there’s been something oddly reassuring about having huge photos of Charles Kennedy about the place, like some benign, avuncular and doughy Big Brother.

Thanks again to all the erudite and insightful people who decided to spend their election night posting here including Matt Sellers, Katie, Inglerland, Amberglow, Small Town Scribble, Curious Hamster, Bertie Wooster - anybody else I may have missed - and last but not least, my partner in crime for the evening, Jarndyce.
