whether or not we want this new EU treaty passed, which will change a few of the rules on how it works. Whatever.
So we either vote yes, or no.
So these canvassers are going round the houses looking for either a yes or a no vote, and they come to this old man's house not far from me.
Now, it's just a little cottage with a low stone wall surrounding it about 10 steps out from his front door, and a path dividing a very small garden either side to get to the road. And by chance, whatever way the canvassers on either side divided up the area, they both arrive at this guy's house at practically the same time.
So first up are the no canvassers, 2 or 3 of them in total, I'm not sure, and they knock and your man answers. They start into their well worn spiel about how Europe is bad etc, and he cuts them off mid sentence and says to them; "I've heard enough. There's nothing worse than them shower of bastards over in Europe. I'll be voting No for sure. You can count on it!"
So the no lads head off, (well pleased that they can chalk up this old guy's vote as a definite no) back out the path, but before they can get out the small gate at the end of the path, the yes canvassers are coming through it to visit the same old man.
The old man now sees the other guys coming in (he's still standing at the door watching the no guys trying to leave) and knows that these guys are looking for a yes vote out of him.
So he stands, shoulder to the doorframe and shouts over to the yes guys as they're coming down the path past the no people, and so loud that both the yes and no groups hear him; "Are ye lads looking for a yes vote? Well ye needn't fuckin' trouble yourselves comin' into me. I wouldn't vote no if I was fuckin' paid, and ye can count on that!"
Then he slams the door shut on the lot of them.
He's like 95.
Too funny.
