Do you remember when the Tories were in the run up to a General Election and the leader (Hague? Major?) was busy trying to convince everyone that the topic du jour was whether or not the pound would be saved or would we join The Evil Empire aka the European Exchange Mechanism and start using dastardly foreign funny money? Whichever Chief Clown it was in charge of the Tories at that point, they wanted to convince us all that the people in pubs and clubs up and down the land were holding earnest discussions about this issue.
No, they weren't.
No-one I know gave a flying one. They could not have been less interested unless they were dead. And that's pretty much where I think we are in the UK at the moment with the AV referendum.
I am interested in changing the voting system but what the Lib Dems have been banging on about for years - proportional representation - is not even on the menu. It's more of the same or a system which I don't believe is much of an improvement at all.
I still haven't got my free government booklet, either. I was hoping that would enrage me so much with it's undoubtedly patronising air that I would be stirred in to making up my mind one way or another. But no, I have been left to my own devices.
Guess it will be 'No' then. Unless I vote 'Yes'.
