Conservative party literature addressed only to husband

Little leaflet arrived today, husband's name only. Presumably this is because he is Head of the Household of A Hardworking Family. Just us? And WTAF?

Never mind my three degrees in Politics, eh? I don't want a separate leaflet addressed to me or anything, but why not both names, 'to the household' or just not addressed like the other parties? It was in a clump of mail shot stuff anyway.

This slightly reminds me of the time the Tory and Ukip councillors both turned away from me as I arrived at the polling station (pushing DD in a pram). Had been greeting everyone else as I walked up.

I have just received some bumph through the door adressed to the the previous 4 tennants - A and B Smith and A and B Jones.

Same envelope - 2 totally different families.

They are addressed to both people in each couple although I did think this was taking paper saving to the limit - do they think another family moved in with the previous tennants! Confused

Are you definately down to vote on the electoral roll?

I had to register as we moved here in January. I have had some bumph through the door from some parties as my name has only just filtered through but DH hasnt as he didnt get around to registering in time.

Sliced finger - oh no, I was looking forward to getting on my soapbox about it! Grin will keep eye out.

Fair point on the Ukipper. But Cons too. Maybe I had my rabid left wing face on.

Sorry, couldn't resist it. That is painfully patriachal.

I think it sounds like they just know better tbh. Any political stuff to our house either only comes to me, or to both of us. I really wound DH up about a Tory mail out coming to him few weeks ago, only to get one myself a few days later. ?? I'd hate it if a UKIP supporter looked at me and thought I might be fair game for a bit of support.
