Indyref 15: the count

Evening all!

Oh, I loved. Chalet School. And Mallory Towers. And St Clare's

Glad you are ok OOAOML

Thanks!

Night night Wynona

My mum gave me my mallory towers books recently. Happy days =)

No exit polls as the pollsters don't have a past referendum to compare results to. Or something like that. I think with general elections they come to their conclusions by comparing voting patterns to past voting patterns.

All of the above may be wrong.

Oh, I loved. Chalet School. And Mallory Towers. And St Clare's

Me too

No no 51% yes

Wynona, I envy your confidence :)

A 51/49 split either way would be awful

No exit polls also possibly due to very high turnout, was part of the impression I got, so that exit polls might be less accurate anyway. As well as it being unprecedented in multiple ways.

Anyone imagine that each team are holed up in a suite somewhere watching all the news feeds like West Wing?

There is reason that the name Gwendoline has not hit the popular baby list

OOAOML you should have gone by

EWF ah well, at least you tried! It is so hot here I have all the doors and windows open, so really need not to nod off!

No exit polls as they typically are used to compare results between elections; this vote hasn't happened in this way in recent years so no comparison possible.

Ooh Chalet School and Mallory Towers :) I loved "The naughtiest girl in the school", the way they ran the school with the student council.

Gwendoline was a wet rag.

A very close vote would not be great. I don't know what to read into what the Guardian are saying. That press conference could mean anything.

Ahh. Thanks squoosh :)

Is it bad that I want to lean out my window and shout "RUN Scotland! save yourselves!"

Nb, am quite a long way from Scotland.

"not great" understatement of the century.

It's now gone midnight... Today is the day we find out

Is that the queens statement.

I loved those books too - DD has been reading Naughtiest Girl and am itching for her to get onto Chalet and Towers

Hello folks. Just perching on the thread although sadly do not have the stamina to watch the results come rolling in. I haven't been on Mumsnet today and, just catching up, am impressed that you romped through a whole thread from 10 to 10!

I am quite afraid now that Yes will squeak it. Ahh well, when I wake up, we will know.
