The BBC announced last night that the St.Ives result would be delayed (it still is) because rough weather was stopping the collection of the ballot box from the island of Samson. It has been uninhabited since the 19th century. Wags are saying that they will look for the polling station on their next holiday.
This morning Radio 5 referred to 'nearby islands'. They are some 25 miles off Land's End.
Harold Wilson once held a press conference on Samson when he was prime minister.
