We should arrange an Indyref meet up at this stage. Grin

Well the business arm of the BBC is just like any other business that would find life more complicated (and hence expensive) in the case of operating in two separate economies after independence.

On the other hand I keep thinking Allan Little sounds rather thrilled at the idea of independence, but maybe my spidey senses are wrong.

We had folk round the other day just asking if we were no or yes. We were just on our way out so just told them we were no voters. Turn out they were from the better together campaign.

We have had our MP round but not to do with the referendum.

I've a few family members involved in politics & getting egged was a pretty regular event when out campaigning in the 80's.

Perfectly fitted, of course Grin - that would never work, the straps are far too thin

Yes Fanny, that and the whole late 80's scene of glueing up Barclays cashpoints and middle class "Socialist Workers" nicking stuff off me (well all property is theft dontcha know) left me a bit meh. Only I didn't know the word meh..

You could have joined farmers for yes, ah well.

If you don't mins my asking, what are your thoughts as you work towards a decision? I'm genuinely interested in what the 'snagging points' are on either side from an undecided POV, if you see what I mean.

Any newcomers, the first thread asked what people's reasons for their voting intentions were, which I thought was really interesting. Any more contributions? Smile

Now there's a challenge for the bra intervention ladies! OldLady surely the traditional greeting would be "you'll have had your tea?" Wink

But you can only vote once no matter how many cards you get through the door, your name gets crossed through.

What a tit that guy is on ebay though.

I agree. There is an awful lot at stake, and a lot of potential for electoral fraud.

People aren't getting multiples in same name, they're getting cards for people who used to live there....

Is it happening a lot? I wonder what the electoral commission are doing? Bit embarrassing if we can't organise the vote properly, we've had long enough.

OOAOML, that would be the Edinburgh greeting. I'm a Highlander, now living in Ayrshire. ;)

Haha, I wish I had that much cash!

Faintly amused by being "the famous Statistically" Grin - does that confirm I'm not a no troll sent from the secret facebook group ;P

Ooh I must have been in Edinburgh long enough to start picking up the language.
