I am a no voter but just saddened to see how divisive this referendum has become. And it's not just up here in Scotland but it seems like our neighbours in England are fed up with us too. Not all of us want to breakaway and I just hope the majority will agree with me.
Friday's result whatever it is will be a no win situation and think it will take years to heal the rifts

Totally agree with you Twingle.
I've been stunned at the aggression I've witnessed from both parties (but mostly the 'Yes' campaign).
It makes me sick that this is happening to our country.

Apparently we've got a load of all night licenses for pubs in Glasgow for the results coming. That doesn't seem a terribly wise idea. Could be a laugh right enough
I'll be sad to see the Union break up but good luck to the Scots if that's the way it goes. What does concern me is how divided the vote actually appears to be, which will leave a large proportion of the country unhappy if it doesn't go the way they voted. Of course, many will accept it and move on but, as has been clearly acknowledged above (twingle), it will have deepened rifts that may worsen for some time to come. I hope not. I hope that, whatever happens, the English and Scots will go on taking the pee out of each other while celebrating what makes us similar and what makes us different.

Really? Where?
I'm off on Friday so............
Edit - oh it's Edinburgh. I'll join you in the park then. But I can't stand Buckie. Do you think I'll get mugged if I bring some Pimms?
I feel that as the rUK have had no say in whether or not the union should be broken, the least the government can do is to give the rUK the final word on what the Scots get in the settlement. So we should have a referendum on each thing, such as how many troops they get, whether they get currency union, or the pound, etc. The people of the rUK should have their say.

Haar.....we are just getting to the end of our Pimms stash. It really is a summer drink. Plus if you're in the park you can just grab some blackberries and toss them in.

I'd love to see that voting paper!
That level of detail does not lend itself to a referendum. That's why we elect politicians.
Of course, we could get rid of the politicians and have a referendum to agree everything.
Who in their right mind would actually want to be governed by a Westminster institution that has allowed such a shambles to happen that threatens UK credibility on the world stage?
Nick Robinson made the very interesting point last night that it will take only 1.8M, perhaps 2M, Scots to vote Yes to break-up the UK. That is about 4% of the British electorate whilst the other 96% have to watch it happen from the sidelines.
Allowing even the remotest possibility that it could happen and none of them actually even aware of the consequences until the very last minute is such outrageous negligence that Westminster has absolutely no credibility left whatsoever.

Apparently it's an anti-Tory vote^_^
Fingers crossed, eh?

Oh well that's it decided then !!!
I think the OP was giving us permission, that was lovely of him wasn't it? Stop the polls...no need!
lol...:D
Has your friend decided which one of her 14,000 children it was got burned by which BBC employee yet or is she still holding her peace?
Ha ha, she replied saying she was sorry if it got misinterpreted and that she was posting a status she had seen elsewhere.
Thanks for the warning.
Ah the old viral status becoming truth. Bit clichéd but quite effective I suppose *polite applause*
Don't do it, in 300 years they'll be writing totally not xenophobic folk songs about you.

Not really much choice is there?
