IT HAS been a very busy week for my poor old front door, it has been knocked, banged and has had all types of political waste shoved through its poor old letterbox.

But on Friday evening the Tories provided the straw that broke the camel’s back.

They pushed their leaflets through the letterbox so hard that they broke the inside safety flap.

I know the council won’t fix it because there is no danger to life but, because of the extra drafts blowing through the lettterbox, I will have to replace it mysel.

I wonder if the council will let me claim the expense, along with the bath plug chain I replaced the other day.
