Kim Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 ....there was no fire Obviously (just a few missing ballot papers!) They are saying that Glasgow has the lowest turnout of voters and that surprised them. A semi-disappointing 75% The big cities definitely having worse turnouts than other areas. Orkney (as expected) - NO - 58% YES - 42% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I'm on the edge of my seat with this. Staying in close contact with my Scottish friends through Facebook. Two are 'yes' voters and a two are 'no'. It's nail biting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Alex Salmond cancels his appearance at the Aberdeenshire count which indicates a "no" from them. I'm going to bed if the result doesn't start getting closer. Boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Technician Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I am a peaceful, nature loving, puppy stroking person. However, for the last week, all I've wanted to do is smack that smug face of Alex Salmond's square off his face and then celebrate with a lovely plate of black pudding.

Kim Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Shetland goes NO. 3 very small seats so far though. However, for the last week, all I've wanted to do is smack that smug face of Alex Salmond's square off his face and then celebrate with a lovely plate of black pudding. Ditto - to Cameron's red sweaty moon face. Salmond is a very skilled and charismatic politician in fact, hence why this day is even here in the first place.

Guest Rachelle of London Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Exactly. These no areas are all tiny seats. Small places. Where's the big boys? The game isn't won yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy Jan Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Jan do you have any British heritage? I know a lot of Aussies do From years back - actually English convicts and also an English Lord ! You can see how far back though. My father lived in London for a few years when he was young and loved it. He had a lot of friends from England that we all become close to. We also have Scottish and French ancestors from way back so a mixed lot. Australians are all mixtures really as such a new country. Well apart from the Aboriginals who have been here for 40 thousand years. Is Ricky Ross from Deacon Blue talking now?..That's on one of the BBC channels here. Yes, he is talking now with a panel of 4 people around a table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy Jan Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Inverclyde - NO by less than a hundred votes On his way to Edinburgh I think (that, or fleeing the country!) That was so close - only 86 votes in it. This is starting to get really interesting now with that being so close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
