Yeah, and I remember the Gorton and Denton count, and those lads, it was mostly lads, all lads, in fact, from the Monster, Raven, Loony party, they had an absolute scream all night.

They had a great time, and I'm sure, you know, whatever policies they're putting forward, there will be a nice little play on words, and they will enjoy themselves getting out and about and meeting people.

I think you're blending them all together.
