With the long-awaited General Election now over, dog breeders have announced a boom in sales of dogs bought for the purpose of chaining the pooches to the railings of polling stations, mainly to photograph them. 


Blacksmiths have also enjoyed a spike in the sales of portable railings as many polling stations don't have indigenous suitable ironmongery.


'Don't forget, a dog is for ever, not just for polling day,' said an animal charity spokesperson.  'And don't forget to take your bloody portable railings, too,' he added.
