Norman's office has been turned into a polling station. Brian and Len are checking off the voters against the electoral roll. Ken is conducting the exit poll. The candidates are:-

Norman the Foreman (Tea drinking party)
Bossy Ross the lifeboat coxswain (Lifesaving party)
Michael the beach policeman (Law and order party)
Jack Jellyhead the robber (Legalise robbery party)
Father Christmas (Christmas all year round party)

Early results from the exit poll suggest that the tea drinking party and lifesaving party are doing rather well.....

All together, they look like a festive YMCA.

I'm fairly sure I've been canvassed by Michael, so he gets my vote

According to ds, Jack Jellyhead will only redistribute his ill-gotten gains to other robbers.....

I'm so relieved that I'm not the only adult who likes to set up little scenes with their DS's Playmobil - and the photograph them

Polling will finish at 10pm - I will then count the votes and let you know who has won the Playmobil election.

In a move that surely should have been foreseen, the JELLYHEAD party faithful are attempting to sneak round the back of the polling station to steal all the votes cast so far.

Another Normanite here.
Although really depends on his dunking policy

Ah, but did you notice the two police officers standing outside the polling station? They are there to ensure a free and fair election. I think Jack's accomplices may soon be apprehended!

In the absence of an explanation of how Father Christmas intends to fund his profligate present giving, I'll be voting for Jack based on his sound fiscal policies.

Norman doesn't usually dunk - but he's quite happy for others to do so if that's their preference. He's happy to see people enjoying their cuppas in whichever way they choose.

Lol, ds and I thought up this Playmobil scenario between us this morning. I just thought it would be a waste not to start a thread about it!

Well I accosted Michael on the street yesterday to ask some probing questions about Playmobil ASBOS, and I overheard him muttering that I was a fruitshoot drinking chav under his breath as he walked away

So, fuck him. My vote goes to Norm

Another vote for Norman. Don't you people realise that without tea, we'd be heading for armageddon?!
