No it isn't. Whoops. Perhaps a certain tongue-in-cheek element is missing?

The implication is more that if everyone in Hyndburn phoned up it would cost a fortune and would probably end up disappointing more than it helped.

I personally hope that those who really need it get it first, such as those in Baxenden, just before the bye-election....
