The West Country woman was stunned when told Theresa May was calling a June poll by BBC reporter Jon Kay in Bristol.
Brenda said: “You’re joking? Not another one! Oh for God’s sake, I can’t honestly… I can’t stand this.
“There’s too much politics going on at the moment. Why does she need to do it?”
The PM told The Sun that the trigger for her dramatic announcement were threats last month to torpedo her Great Repeal Bill as it passes through Parliament.

The 60-year-old Prime Minister spoke from her Downing Street study, giving her first election newspaper interview.
She said: “When I became Prime Minister, I thought the most important thing to do for the country was to have a period of stability.
“But around that time of the invoking of Article 50, it became clear the extent to which there was political game playing and division in Westminster, which would have made it harder for us in negotiating with Europe.
“We want the best possible hand, we want the best possible negotiating position with the European Union.
“If you look at some of the things that were said, there is very clear potential for voting against the legislation to implement the leaving of the EU, and against the final deal – trying to stop us every step of the way.”
