Vic once beat the LibDems into fourth place in Dover.
It made a sensation at the time nationwide, as an article I wrote the next day was being tweeted and face-booked and linked to by UKIP supporters all over Britain.
I can remember sitting there staring at my monitor as the page-views went up at an average of one every 2 seconds for two whole days.
But since then, UKIP has a habit of coming second, being effectively Britain's second party.
The success probably had to do with a door to door leaflet campaign in Dover.
A shame that Vic did not accept UKIP's offer to receive 5,000 more leaflets, these too free of charge, as I would have posted those too.
I did make a point before starting the distribution of asking for the money for a new pair of shoes , which I got!
