However, as long as I was keeping hold of my sanity, I'd walk away from an Apple running a 12 year old OS too, not least because I wouldn't know how to fix it. @Richard, Macs don’t do that.

But the reason it was so significant (and satisfying) was that the man as he was then was so arrogant, along with his party, that it was a pleasure to see them scythed done so effectively. Problem is a Harman/Blears/Balls moment will bring both our worst fears a little closer. Not quite the same thing. I could happily vote Labour or LibDem but can never envision a situation in which I could vote Tory. Am off to vote the now! The Portiloo moment: Yup, saw it.
