My mum just revealed her friend, who works at the polling station and has done so for many elections, reckons in the first hour they get as many voters as for a whole 'other' election. I asked but she didn't specify if that meant a council/European/General Election.
Even so, it suggests high turnout. I would guess this area will be fairly heavily Leave.
Turnout described as steady when I cast my friend's proxy vote for them in Oakmere Ward Potters Bar about 30 minutes ago. Will let you know about Parkfield ward when I cat my own vote before retreating to the pub.
I voted at St Marys Church Hall on The Walk about an hour ago - seem to recall that's also your polling station.
All 10 names either side of mine on the sheet were marked as having voted. Polling staff said turnout steady but looking at the sheet as a whole it looked as if at least 50% had already voted.
But are people looking bloody-minded (vote Leave) or fearful (remain) as they go into the polling stations. Only 7 hours to the first results!
Thanks everyone. I blame my lack of knowledge on the fact that Mrs J claims Dr Who is not real sci fi.
So in these quiet hours before the polls close. If: *) Cameron is Han Solo (always wins, but you wonder whose side he is on), *) May is Princess Leia (good administrator with a steel backbone) and *) Boris is Jar Jar Binks (joke character that should no be taken seriously who somehow gets power),
then who is Farage?
Surely, Farage is Jar Jar Binks - the most annoyingly punchable character in the whole damned saga?
Depends which perspective you see it from. From my POV nobody is more punchable than them 2 little elitist Shite Hawks Kinnock and Straw.
If anyone is interested and has a spare minute (the latter part probably applies to just about everyone posting here!), I have set up a survey via survey monkey. Only 2 questions - who do you want to win, and who do you think will win. All anonymous. Would be interesting to see a summary of what pb.com thinks,this close to the end:

@samdwebber
Experienced clerk in a Dorset polling station predicts turnout there by 10pm (incl postal votes already received) between 78% - 82%. #EUref

Some places in Leicestershire seeing record turnout too and record postal votes, I'm told
I'm not entirely sure this is over.

I'll be happy just knowing that lots of usual non-voters are turning out for this, whichever way it goes.
