UPDATE: Obviously the Tesco website fell over at 01.02 leaving everyone fuming. The original article runs below:
#NotComics: I'm not entirely sure which is more important. But in just under one hour's time, at 11.59pm GMT it's the deadline for Brits to register to vote in the upcoming General Election in three weeks' time. A very important cut off time. But two minutes after that at 0.01am GMT, it's the moment that all the Christmas Week delivery slots open up for Tesco, Britain's largest supermarket in a country that has been switching in their millions from in-store purchase to doorstep deliveries. And those with a Delivery Saver subscription, we get a few day's advance on those who don't pay a monthly fee.
It will still be bedlam. And so many people are waiting up… welcoming to Britain, Bleeding Cool. This is us in the raw.
A couple of important things worth staying up for tonight … you need to register to vote by 23.59 ✊️https://t.co/FUfo7u0BsJ & you can pre-book your Christmas @Tesco delivery at 00.01 🎄#LovePolitics #Vote #LoveChristmas

Both are valid.
Staying awake purely to try and bag a Tesco Xmas delivery slot like a bloody muppet tonight.

In your forties, it becomes quite the highlight. A real thrilling countdown.
Really want to go to bed but have to stay up to book my Christmas delivery slots from Tesco at 0001. If I don't the bloody things will all be booked in morning.
My life is far too exciting.— Tom Simpson (@mrtomsimpson) November 26, 2019
