    Anyway a 'no' vote will win, it's a dead cert given the latest opinion polls.
    Eh? the latest one was 49-51? It's a dead heat, there is a 3% margin of error.

      No the UK won't have any interest in stopping the Panama solution. But it is incompatible with EU membership and therefore with the Yes campaign position.

      So, tell me what foreign currency reserves will be required to support the Panama solution?

      Anyway I think this is deliciously close run.

          I did a forecast of the last 5 opinion polls, accounting for error. The 'don't know's' would have to convert at 2:1 in favour of yes to win. That's not going to happen.

            Punnd Sasannach

            Bho thùs, ann an linn nan Sagsonaich (A thug ainm do Ear-Dheas na Breatuinn), cha b' ann an punnd Shasannach ach cumhachd cheannaich Punnd Troigh de miotail airgead. Gu ìre mhòr, chleachd dùthaich Tuatha na h-Eòrpa airgiod mar meadhan-mhalairt agus tìrean deasach na h-Eòrpa òr. Ann an Sasunn agus Alba, bha an 1/240mh phairt den phunnd aithnichte a bhi na chuideam-pheighinn, agus b' e sin an cuideam airgid a bha anns a' pheighinn Sasunnach roimhe linn nan Tormodaich. As deidh 1066, mean air mhean mheasgaich rìghrean na Sasuinn bun-mheatailtean le airgiod nam buinn agus chaidh luach an "airgid" seo sìos. Chaidh rìghrean na h-Albainn torr nas fhada na rìghrean na Sasuinn air taobh milleadh an cuid airgid, agus aig am Achd an Aonaidh de 1707 cha robh luach a' Phunnd Albannaich ach 1/12 mh de Punnd Shasannach. As deidh 1707 chleachd an da dhùthaich am Punnd Shasannach, a dh'aindeoin sin bha cuid Albannach a' measadh 1 s. 8 d. Shasunnach ( 1 Sgillinn agus 8 peighinn) a bhi na "punnd Albannach" iomadh bliadhna as deidh sin. Is e sin a bha Raibeart Burns a' ciallachadh nuair a sgrìobh e an sreath "Twa pund Scots twas a' her riches" anns a' bhàrdachd Tom o'Shanter
            Apparently a gibberish currency

              I rekon sterlingisation is a goer - but would require at least 20billion in reserve. The Germans would ask for more than that and some element of fiscal control for EU membership.

              Nick Robinson is being booed in Perth Yes shindig. That's a shame - he's a good reporter.

                I think it's likely that a higher percentage of the 'yes' people will actually turn out and vote.

                  Polls might be way off, from what I am seeing in Scotland tonight Yes will hit 60%

                    Depends on the ages of the No voters. The 16-17 year olds and the over 50s will definitely turn out.

                      Of course opinion polls are mostly over the telephone, how areas are selected I'm not sure.

                      It used to be the weather would even put people off voting, but not tomorrow I'm guessing.
