You might say that but I couldn't possibly comment!
Of course not. Having your tongue in your cheek makes speech very difficult. :lol:

I've been doing some research for a possible article for the Journal, and in so doing looked in the 1925 Electoral List. Only Hugh is listed, and I discovered that Enid wouldn't have been able to vote until she was 30, although the law was changed to allow women the same rights as men in 1928.

So whatever Enid's political views, she wouldn't have been allowed to exercise them until the age of 30!
