Been there...done that..and I hope no-one asks me how I voted. My business and no one need judge.

It's a lot more serious to folk than whether you prefer Android, Windows or iOS......#justsaying.

Indeed. All done and dusted, was actually quite busy at our local poling station at 7:15am.

I definitely believe the turnouts for this referendum will be greater than any recent general or local elections.

I voted by post a while ago. So instead I need to get up and make a coffee this morning... and then do something with my day.

I reckon the turn out will be much higher then the general election. Good to see democracy in action!

100% remain.
I've seen nothing but utter scaremongering from both sides tbh, and both sides have resorted to personal attacks and gains to secure OUR vote for THEIR purposes.
So I stood by my initial gut feeling...
A divorce after 40 years is very messy when one side doesn't want to separate..
In this post -EU era, can you really put the rebirth of great Britain in the hands of Boris Johnson?
It's about time people understood that we once were a great empire but not no more, now we are a fundamental part of a larger picture. I personally cannot gamble that on what these politicians have put forward.

I voted by post two weeks ago, whether it will arrive is in the hands of a dodgy motorbike courier!

Just what will be the effect of a vote leave success on a UK passport with EU stamped all over it? Having just shelled out £143 I won't be too pleased to have to renew it again! Hopefully these will remain valid until they expire.

So many things that both sides have omitted to answer when all they are concerned about is their own future whilst issuing scaremongering arguments.

There has been a lot of scaremongering on both sides. They both have said leaving will cause this and staying will allow us to do that, however no-one has produced facts, they have all provided their experts "best guess".

I think everyone just need to follow what they personally believe is the best course of action either for them personally, or their views on the issues that it may effect.

Well I'm no saying how I voted, but you might guess from what I'm about to say... How the hell can the SNP say they want to break up the union and make us Scots go it alone at the same time say they want to remain in the EU.

There is strength in numbers, and the last thing we need is the UK becoming even more vulnerable.

So... Clearly in then lol

Wouldn't possibly divulge such a high profile political view publically.

Re: EU Vote - Todays the day

viridis — Thu, 23 Jun 2016 11:20:08 GMT

I would.

Cleoriff — Thu, 23 Jun 2016 11:22:03 GMT

I tell you what I find diabolical. We all get a card which is our registration to vote. Whilst I was away ours went missing (possible clear up before I got home) My husband says it doesn't matter.. we can still vote. Indeed we could. We just gave our name and address when we walked in, the polling officer ticked us off and we cast our vote. No ID check...nothing. My point is, anyone could have used my name to vote. Something not quite right about that in my opinion....

viridis — Thu, 23 Jun 2016 11:23:22 GMT

Yup.
Name and postcode, all you need.

Ah... Nice. So wonder what neighbours haven't voted yet

I'm kidding

My other half used to work at our Civic Hall, also used as a massive polling station. He said he often wondered at the legality of it all...

It was my understanding that you needed the polling card, but I've never turned up without one.

I treat them like golden tickets for the Willy Wonka chocolate factory
