    Shamelessly plagiarised from Facebook:

    "Went to the polling station this morning and I thought they should be free of any advertisement or indication on how one should vote. However there was on the door on arriving the word “In” and on leaving (when it was too late) “Out”"

      Did a postal vote ages ago. All I'm hoping for whether the vote goes the way I chose or not is that AFTER the whole affair has finished hatchets are buried and a little civility returns. I have a nasty feeling things may be similar to here in Scotland where the Yes voters are STILL determined come what may to have ANOTHER referendum in an attempt to get the result they want.
      All I know is I and many of my friends are politicked out. That's at least 5 elections we've had in the last couple of years.

        @clueless1 which ever way you vote will be right by one person and wrong by another, you won't be able to win, so vote for what you think is right
        there lots of people that will vote remain and there will be people that vote out

          Wouldn't that depend on how high up the posters have been put? :scratch:

              I wonder what would happen if there's a 50-50 vote, will they toss a coin :snorky:

                    It won't be 50 50. If it was, I'm sure some papers would accidentally get spoiled or lost.

                      I think I may have just voted 'In' by mistake. That will teach me to read the voting slip.

                        I forgot to take my glasses, so just put a cross in the bottom box, hope that was the right one.

                              I had to wait behind someone who was arguing that he didn't want to use a pencil to cast his vote. They tried explaining the reason to him but he wasn't having any of it! I gave him a pen :lunapic 130165696578242 5:. I didn't want to get stuck behind him any longer. :noidea:

                                So if there are 65,000,000 (65 Million)people living in the UK and not counting anyone under the age of 18 who are not old enough to vote (not sure if prisoners can vote:scratch:) all turn out how are they going to count all those votes by hand and have the first resultsin possibly after midnight or whatever silly time it is and then know by breakfast whether we are IN or OUT of the EU because when Mr Kandy was at work some of his colleagues had the task of counting the votes in a normal general election and that used to take them all through the night to do the task and I don't think there was anywhere near enough people voting then,but by the looks of things practically everyone is turning out,even Nuns and Chelsea Pensioners if the photos in the DM are anything to go by:snorky:
