As some of you will know, I am currently compiling funny campaign stories for a book I am putting together in support of the homeless charity, Shelter.
Please do email me with any of your funny stories, do it quickly now while you remember them.
As a starter, here is one I received today from Sheffield
"We had a classic story today. It was in response to a letter sent by Steve Wilson to Labour promises. We got back to a message on the answer machine. It went something like this. "Hello my name is Jane Smith. I live on XXXX road and I received a letter from you today. Obviously it was the one asking me to vote Labour. I'm a mother with three young children and live on the top floor of a maisonette. It can be a real struggle with the prams and everything. Well on the bottom of your letter it said if you need a lift ring me and I'll arrange one. So I'm ringing. We could really do lifts in these flats and it would be great if you could get me one.
