Quote from Ceefax (UK):
Villagers protesting at the closure of rural post offices - armed with mangelwurzel lanterns - are to serenade the PM [Prime Minister] with a 400-year-old incantation.
Residents of Somerset's Hinton St George will descend on Westminster clutching their carved lights to hand their petition to Gordon Brown.
They will chant the village's "Punkie Night" song, normally sung each October to ward off evil spirits.
