Tasty alternative election choice

AS voters go to the polls today (Thursday) in the high-profile Crewe & Nantwich by-election, local baker Chatwins is giving people alternative politicians to vote for.

This version does not give speeches and campaign promises or make U-turns! Instead, the Chatwins gingerbread men are taking political sides by dressing up in party colours.

The gingerbread politicians are on sale at Chatwins shops in Nantwich Square and at Victoria Street in Crewe and, rather than waiting until, the early hours of tomorrow morning for the result of the election, the bakery will announce which of the political gingerbread men is the shoppers' top choice at 5pm today.
