Yes, that was my polling station; though as I voted at lunchtime, I didn't experience a car boot vote!

I had 3 ballot papers, one for City Council, one for County Council and one for Police and Crime Commissioner. Yes, they all went in one ballot box.

I see (or rather, sometimes don't see!) what you mean about glasses and masks; though it wasn't too bad today. The polling station was quite well-organized from a Covid point of view: one-way system, strict social distancing, hand sanitizer, etc.
