Dear Sir/Madam/Miss/Ms?

As an undecided voter in the closely fought marginal seat of Portsmouth North Nicki Fletcher has seen plenty of election literature coming through her door.
She tapped me on the shoulder after we parked the South Today satellite truck near her house last night.
Nicki saw me blathering on her TV about how "every vote counts" and how the parties were all working so hard to win people over.
The problem is that none of the election literature she's been sent has been addressed to her - every single pamphlet and flyer has been addressed to her husband, Lee.
Nicki is so fed up that she's written an email to the three party leaders offering her vote - possibly a vital vote - for the best answer:
Dear Mr Brown, Mr Cameron and Mr Clegg,Don't any of you believe your party's position on equalities?
I would like to be treated as an intelligent person with a mind of my own.
Please rectify this by sending fresh copies of your election material (that are currently being waved under my nose by my smug git of a husband)
And please make sure they are addressed to ME this time.
Yours Sincerely
Nicki Fletcher (Mrs)
With both Labour and Conservatives fielding female candidates in Portsmouth North, let's hope she gets proper attention now.
