No, it doesn't. 'Correctly' within their human capacity is still 'correct within their human capacity'.

Swati are you suggesting they may be a bit dim or something more cynical?

Absolutely. I've no time for apathy. Apathy allows us to be enslaved and ensnared. Feeling and emotion makes people take note. Assures those in decision making positions that people care and will make their opinion known.

If the BBC loses Scotland, then the funding they receive will be reduced, if they lose the fee payed by the Scotts and then they will stop broadcasting in Scotland. They may as well try and keep their own interests alive as would any business. It's not like anyone trusts them either way.

I hope the curries aren't too spicy, you don't want someone nipping off to the loo, and forgetting where they hand counted too before making the dash!

Stop broadcasting?! People in mainland Europe can receive BBC via satellite/internet. The Scots will be able to watch BBC and not have to pay for it.

Yeah. Spicy curry may even cause wind passing, which could cause unrest and mix up in vote counting.

Yeah, let's see when the YES makes the break through. I'll put the kettle on meanwhile.

Yeah. It would be a fanfare rather than a vote counting affair.

Right, YES has had a break through in Dundee, which means I can have some sleep now. I just feel bad for Murray because he'll get even more stick if NO wins. Anyway, he'll just have to deal with it. Zzzzzz..........

I would like to see the no vote win but as I continue to watch the no vote do well I am not sure. I feel the damage may well have been done.

I'd like the NO to win as well. I don't want Great Britain divided. But hey.

Results have sped up now. I may just stay awake to learn the overall conclusion. I shall see how far I can keep my eyes and ears open.
