One of us met up with a one fit and healthy looking gent who seemed about 65 years of age. He was just wearing a vest on top and probably sunbathing in the garden . “Oh, he said, I’m too old to worry about the state of the country, I won’t be voting”.<\/p>\n
“Ah,” said the Lib Dem canvasser, ” you can’t be older than Ming Campbell , you should still vote”<\/p>\n
