If any of the spirit of giving is left in the tank at this late stage of the festive season, please note that it’s time for the Poll Bludger’s bi-monthly plea for cash. Donations are gratefully received through the PressPatron button at the top of the page, or the “become a supporter” buttons that appear at the foot of each post. If you are having technical problems with the donation facilities, please drop me a line at pollbludger-AT-bigpond-DOT-com. Many thanks for your support, now as always.
