    I just hope whatever happens things will be ok. I'm getting more worried about violence breaking out if there is a NO win. YES supporters are having night long parties. So if it doesn't go their way then emotion mixed with alcohol won't be pretty!

    Won't they all be unconscious by the time the result is declared? :D

    I'm hearing Glasgow will determine this because of the voter turn out. Over 80%

    So in other words if Glasgow votes YES then the likely hood is that Scotland will go independent.

    Sorry NO's :( Glasgow is so pro YES I can't see any way back. If NO does manage to win its going to be so darn close.

    Glasgow may be pro YES - but its's still 12%. Edinburgh is probably pro NO and 9%

    Turnout is going to be over 80% in most places

    It's the last vote and it quite possible the offical result won't be declared until then. Aberdeen has 4% of the vote so unless the polls are wrong and the result is not as close as we think then they will be the defining vote. But it's likely the result will be obvious (if not mathematically certain) before then.

    Nick Robinson to head the BBC negotiating team.:D

    The yessers decided to put his face on a giant 'wanted' poster and drag it around the streets in a sickening parade.

    All corrupt lying governments like the Scottish Nasty Party's usually single out journalists first in their war on free speech and civil liberties. I dont want these creeps in charge of my country.

    Just seen Alex Salmond posting his vote in nice friendly surroundings then Alistair Darling posting his amid boos from Yes supporters,:D:D:D

    Do the yessers think they do themselves any favours by behaving like that?

    Rumoured exit Poll(even through there is not an official one) is that the No vote is winning.

    Its rather tense. Even out and about this morning everyone looked gloomy and people were avoiding eye contact.

    Whatever way tomorrow can facebook and twitter at least return to its norm of posting pictures of Benedict Cumberbatch and funny cats?

    Right I am back to looking at houses in north Northumberland... any recommendations sigh.

    59% No - 41% Yes. With a 3% margin of error. Put your money on it. I have.

    That depends on which part of N.Northumberland you need to be in. Where do you work?

    I just hope that when the result comes in everyone in this topic from each side treats each other with respect. No baiting, laughing, poking fun or goading. Lets all try to be mature adults. We all love Scotland. We just have different ideas about its future, thats all.
