Mary Myers with Coun David Horton
A 90-year-old "lucky mascot" could be the key to success for one sitting York councillor.
David Horton, in Acomb, has been giving the same elderly woman, Mary Myers, a lift to the polling station for every election since 1986 - and always come up trumps.
He repeated the routine yesterday, at 8am.
David said: "I have always taken her at 8am, whatever the election, and every time I have taken her we have won."
