Well I've done all I can by voting. Hope we'll still be welcome on Diabetes.co.uk in the event of a Yes vote.
But it's ok to have them less than 30 miles from where I live - the largest city in Scotland?
Whatever the outcome, I hope all the politicians from all sides sit down round a table and work out strategies and policies that are best for everyone, be they in Scotland, England, Wales or N. Ireland.
Indeed. There are some very good reasons why there is no clarity on things like currency and EU membership. The simple matter is nothing can really be determined until after negotiations FOLLOWING the actual result. Of course the UK government has said Scotland can't keep the pound - if they said anything different then that would just increase the yes vote.
An interesting point in today's Grauniad said that England is the largest democracy that DOESN'T have any significant regional government system (unlike Spain, France etc). Whichever way the vote goes there will have to be some kind of real devolution within England to get more relevant local accountability, so in that respect the whole process will have been worthwhile.

Have the polls factored in the mental state of those who will come rolling out of the pub at 9:30 to vote in the last few minutes?

Me wifey received a message on Facebook telling everyone to take a pen with them when voting.
Apparently one Polling Station has pencils hanging in the voting booths. (confirmed as genuine)
Whoever made that decision is leaving themselves wide open to criticism and suspicion.
Let's just hope there's no rigging going on as the votes are being counted over-night.
(can't be bothered with Facebook myself. lol)

I used to use my dictaphone a lot but now I'm a grown man I have to use my finger like everyone else .....im pretty sure they woulda used a marker pen but who knows, they eat haggis
The vote can be changed to easily?Our polling stations here always have pencils hanging on string in the booths. Why is it unusual?
