And the wait goes on…
Upper Bann has lived up to its billing as traditionally the slowest constituency to declare. But this is special.
The wait has been compared to the play ‘Waiting for Godot’ by Samuel Beckett. Its two main characters wait endlessly and in vain for the arrival of someone named Godot.
We feel their pain, as does the Twitterati.
This is how people are reacting to the delay and lack of anything in Banbridge today….
