'It’s like ordering a roast and getting a salad': 15 HILARIOUS tweets about polling day
POLLING day is upon us and many have taken to Twitter to share their hilarious voting experiences.
There have been thousands of hilarious tweets about voting this morning
The over-riding message about polling day this morning has been one of chaos, as thousands are turned away and names left off the polling list.
The biggest errors are happening in Barnet, north London, with whole street’s worth of people reported to be missing off the list of those wishing to vote.
Young and old alike are casting their votes across the UK capital to decide who they would like to see become Mayor of London.
However, some have managed to crack a few jokes in among the serious messages encouraging people to vote and debates on who to vote for as these tweets show.

Discussing the dangers lurking at the polls, one man asked “Who knew #voting could be so dangerous?”
The tweet included a picture of a ‘Polling Station’ sign placed next to a bright yellow defibrillator box.
Referring to Leicester’s recent Premiership victory, one tweet read: “Just want to wish George Galloway good luck for the mayoral election. After Leicester’s win anything is possible.”
Many laughed the outcomes of voting and how you often don’t get the result you were hoping for.
Good luck #voting today UK. Don't destroy the country!

One user joked: “#Voting : It’s like ordering a Sunday roast off a menu and then being given a salad.”
Another referred to our current government and said: “Because we need more of Eton running the whole country they are doing such a good job #VoteConservative”.
Explaining the importance of voting, another user said: “Why it’s important to vote? Think of politicians as being like nappies. They both need changing regularly (& for the same reason) #PollingDay”
Polling stations are in schools, portakabins and churches up and down the country.

— Brian Bilston (@brian_bilston) May 5, 2016
his ballot paper
gave it treats,
bought it sweets,
mooned around,
doted
and, in the process,
became hopelessly de-voted
As one man pointed out, it might be some adult’s first visit to the ‘Lord’s house’ in quite some time.
He joked: “Another rare visit to the local church and didn’t get struck by lightning #PollingDay”
The comedic tweets about polling day come as one mum films her son on a brilliant anaesthesia fuelled rant.
The boy talks about a trip to Dubai he has never been on and shouts and laughs in the clip, which has gone viral online.
