Voting

Just voted.  Never seen such a big queue in!  Great to see democracy alive and well

Wow. That’s brilliant to hear.

Paul Doorly ● 2526d

Yes, I was also in a queue for the first time ever!

There are long queues in Balham and Battersea too.  Incredible!Saw pictures on the live stream on the BBC website.

I think everyone has got a bit worried. The silent voter has come out. Which is great news

Just had an canvasser. decidedly presentable. The only one I've had actually.  If you voted for the canvasser not the party he'd have won hands down! lol

That photo is on the Mail Online, massive turnout.  I like to have a bet now and again, but I would never have put money on who will win this one.

Just been to vote and it was really busy, probably the busiest I’ve ever known it for midday at the Felsham Rd polling station. Usually, it’s me and one other.

Craig was mentioned in the guardian too!

Matt Palmer ● 2526d

I think I’d keep quiet about that,lol.

Blimey, I've gone viral.  I should have knocked a few years off 😂

The deed has been done. Not a queue outside at Brandlehow school lunchtime (obviously not allowed to photograph one inside) but a steady stream of voters coming and going. Are cats allowed?

None outside the Methodist Church at the bottom of Gwendolen either.

From the Guardian...Wandsworth council, which covers the Labour marginal of Battersea, the Tory marginal of Putney, and the safe Labour seat of Tooting, has confirmed that “unprecedented numbers” of people were voting this morning."We are grateful to our election staff who faced unprecedented numbers at polling stations this morning.  They are working hard to clear queues would like to thank voters for their patience."
