Early on Saturday tallymen could be seen rushing between booths leaning over the makeshift partitions as ballot papers were unfolded and laid out in bundles. |

Analysing voter trends should not be limited to a high priesthood of tallymen. |
In the meantime, tallymen and women who thought they had become extinct, should start sharpening their pencils for next month's outing. |
The tallymen fascinated me with their eagle eyes and counting system and the siege mentality that prevailed was totally captivating. |
Despite being constantly pursued by tallymen, clothing-club collectors and the like, our parents had a horror of real debt. |
