No idea. It all happened as I said it did. In fact I'm American-born and it's readily apparent from both my accent and my English partner's that neither of us was born here. Everyone in the village knows I'm a Yank, and it was a local people in the polling station. We voted in the general election too, and I've always received the cards, and never pretended to be other than what I am. Ditto Michael. If you want to discuss this further, can you PM me?
