An hour on foot? In the car? On a bus or train? By hovercraft?? I think hovercraft may be the best way to measure it given its ability to go as the crow flies so to speak. your hovercraft is full of crows? |

Manchester Gorton!!! I think some on here are taking the thread off on a bird related tangent. I thought as the crow flies was a common phrase! Bird tangent alert!! Common phase or should that be Cormorant phrase or even Common Shag? |

More interesting odds might be on weather Labour get more or less than 50% of the vote.
The last time Labour didn't was in the 1967 by election, when they got 46% to the Conservatives 44.5%.

72% turnout in a by-election seems extraordinary now Turnout was 77.5% at the Mid Staffs by-election in March 1990, (which was the first by-election I took any notice of). |

Mid-Staffs was the first time I ever campaigned for a Labour Party candidate.
