Marillion are/were from Aylesbury
Yeah but they/he was born with a heart of Lothian. 
Must say this thread has been one of the most interesting threads I've read on here for a long time.
It's going to be very interesting seeing this pan out over the next eight hours.

My final words on the referendum. Like most I have now cast my vote and it is a vote for NO. Making this statement does not fill me with joy though and I am not bursting with pride at my choice, this entire exercise in my mind has been futile, derisive and destructive. Friends have parted ways, families have fallen out and hatred and division has been seen on our streets. The lies, half truths and arrogance on both sides of the political divide have far outdone anything ever seen in any UK election to date. What the true picture of Independance means is really anyones guess. There is though one unavoidable truth, that truth is that as a nation we are now torn in two. Regardless of the outcome on Friday morning I will not be celebrating, there will be no champagne corks popping in my house or feelings of triumph. Whoever the "victor" half our great nation will be left feeling bitter and disenfranchised and we face a long long road to recover our unity. My only hope is that we can do this without bloodshed and that the extremists quietly crawl back into their holes. So finally, and to all that take the time to read this, please consider your decision very carefully, think about what it means to you, consider you finances, your jobs, the jobs of those around you, your commitments in life, the services we hold dearly and of course the future of our children. There is no going back from this, whatever choice you have made you will have to live with it for the rest of your life, if it all goes wrong there will no one left to blame but ourselves
Currently sat in Ian Mosley's old living room. We bought the house in Gerrard's Cross from said drummer of Marillion.
Fish used to live just round the corner.
While I'm on the subject, Ozzie Osbourne rented the house next door for 6 months. He is exactly as you see him on TV... wasted.
I would vote No if I lived in Scotland.

Well, that`s me done. Polling station wasn`t too busy, just yin eejit with a blue beard and his clothes covered in Yes stickers and badges. Harmless enough though and anyone chatting seemed pleasant and polite.
I was going to sit up and watch the results come in but I`ll cancel that and check it out tomorrow. I still have faith in the silent majority and if it happens to be a Yes vote then so be it. I`ll have to grin and bear it, roll up my sleeves and get on with it.
On another note, I did find it somewhat unusual seeing Patrick Harvie of the Green Party supporting an Independent country that is hoping to secure it`s future on a fossil fuel. Hypocritical and typical of 3rd rate politicians hoping to fight over the scraps in the small pond as they`d have no standing anywhere else.
