It would be 1979 and I had just turned 18. I voted James Callaghan but the dreaded Maggie T got it. I turned up at the polling station with a red rose in my lapel (or was that the next election....Kinnock? Can't remember now).
This is 'farming' country - lots of rich farmers & landowners and has a big Conservative majority,,,, so moi with my single red rose got a few disapproving looks. BUt I was into Politics then (just cos I was 'doing' sociology at college!!) and was very anti-thatcher back then.
