Thirty one and a half million seconds and they're history!

As Britain goes to the polls, let's not forget that today's date has another important significance for the voters of Boston.
Look at our countdown calendar - there's just one more year left before we get the chance to consign the Boston Bypass Independents to the dustbin of history.
Just 31,536,000 seconds to go.
There's nothing much we can say that we haven't already said.
When the BBI arrived on the scene, Boston Eye welcomed them with open arms.
But sadly, perhaps inevitably, for a group that promised so much, the BBI gave us very little.
Most memorable from the past three years, is the internal warring, the failed audits, the need for an Improvement Board to try to stop the council's inexorable spiral down into further incompetence and disgrace. Factor in staff morale at rock bottom, and the endless blaming of everything on an administration that has been out for power for three years, and you'll need a couple of extra tubes of Ivory Black in your paintbox to produce a portrait of the council at this moment in time.
Oddly, we get the feeling that the BBI genuinely believes that it has achieved a great deal during its spell in power - which is an equally sad reflection of the party's mindset in itself.
Back in 2007, the BBI contested all 32 seats, winning 25 to become the first party to take overall control of the council since the borough was formed in 1972.
Now it has only eighteen councillors , half of whom comprise the cabinet and therefore tell the others what to do and how to vote.
To adulterate a time honoured phrase, donkeys led by more donkeys.
Next week sees the start of major roadworks designed to ease traffic congestion in the town, which will go on until March next year - nothing like the bypass we were promised.
Although Lincolnshire County council has pledged to keep disruption to a minimum, we have to say that we've heard that one before.
How ironic if the people of Boston spend the next eleven months battling with traffic delays and interminable queues to be confronted by a BBI singing that same old song about getting Boston moving.
How might they vote this time around, we wonder?
