Today's 'THE DAY'. Let's hope the Scots see sense. Any thoughts, Rosie? Oh plenty of thoughts Geranium, I'm still a no and so is everyone I know. I will be voting later on once Graham is home. |

I tend not to watch that I'm afraid, I used to like the Royal Tournament though  Sadist  Just so you could watch some poor matelot getting broken bones trying to lug an artillery piece over the obstacles  Absolutely |

Poor you. I just knew those kilt pins were dangerous.  I`ve just never seen the point. People have tattoos on their back.Why? They can`t see it. |

daitheplant one of my tats on the back of my hand has the name,'Lynda' and as you probably know my OH is called Maureen remember I was in her majesty's forces and it was a common practice then and indeed still is. An oppo of mine had a tattoo under his chin and on down his throat done the traditional way with pointed sticks by a native Dayak in Borneo. Very painful I heard. It was a tribal thing and many of the locals had tattoos and pierced noses with feathers in but i didn't fancy any of that

Well, lads and lassies, I've just checked on the results so far and it's 54% 'no'. Mr Salmond has gone off in a limo somewhere, looking white round the gills. Looks like good news for the UK! |

It wasn't collective common sense which prevailed. In fact, I am disappointed that although the vote was for a resounding 'no', that so many Scots believed King Salmond and thought so little of the union. However, they are better off, and it would seem, we are too.

I kind of knew the no's would win, we were quietly confident, the yes voters were too vocal and aggressive. A good day for the UK |

Great news, I'm glad we're still 'together' I just hope the BBC can leave the subject alone, but I've no doubt we'll get hours of analysis now  |

Exactly my thoughts too, let it rest, but everytime westminster bring something 'bad' for Scotland the referendum will be dragged up time and time again.

I have really never seen the point of them. It is great news that Scotland voted no. Now I think that Wales, Ireland and England should have a vote on whether or not Mr Salmond remains a part of the UK.  |

It's been difficult to know which way it would go the past week or so, but I'm glad the no's won. I was at a pre-season football match at the start of last month with 6,000 Rangers fans bouncing up and down waving Union Flags, signing the National Anthem, and anti independence songs. They had a huge banner that said "FOUR COUNTRIES ONE FLAG OUR UNITED KINGDOM." Long may it continue that's what I say, although it's clearly going to be a very different UK following today's result.

It wasn't really that surprising that Alex Salmond has now stepped down, It's all been a big smack around the chops for him. If he had told people what would happen with the military, education, nhs, police etc etc I think we would be independant now. He didn't have ANY answers to the most important questions. Thats true sweetpea, but I'm not sure I'll be home that day |

I was delighted to watch the results as they same through - well done the 'nos'. Now let's get some fairness into the political life of the new UK! |
