Victoria Derbyshire brought her 5Live show to Watford this morning, interviewing local residents and all six candidates (so far declared!), as well as callers and text/email messages. We all met in The One Bell, at the bottom end of the High Street, thanks to the Landlord Bob.
There were three residents who chatted to Victoria first, expressing their worries about our hospital and the NHS, the slow recovery of the economy, and safety on the High Street late at night.
We were somewhat sidetracked by Gordon Brown's trip to Buckingham Palace to ask the Queen to dissolve Parliament on 12 April, but it was definitely worth it to see the General Election getting under way.
It was interesting to try and have a six way debate - difficult, but I think it was managed without too much over-talking. It was, in the main, courteous and civil, and we parted ready to hit the campaign trail.
