They are allowing pen apparently.. I'm just going to press extra hard with the pencil!

I'm definitely going to cry as I walk out that polling station

I am guessing that multimillionaire grand-slam and olympic champion AM with his tasty bird and new hotel just opened near Gleneagles will cope with what you allege...

Pretty sure you're only allowed to use pencil. Just hoping they don't get tampered with.

The electoral commission has confirmed you can use your own pen.

Postal votes are also done in pen.

They only provide pencils at the polling station though.

Pencils should not be allowed. Too easy to tamper with.

In his earlier career as he was rising, Murray was actually always quite insistent in being referred to as Scottish, not British, and I believe there was a bit of a strop thrown over once being referred to by a non-UK commentator as English.

The "proud British" stuff only came after he became a real grand slam competitor and yes was almost certainly down to PR advice rather than his own feelings.
