Votes should probably always be done in pen anyway, makes more sense that they can't tampered with afterwards :think:

I've not voted yet Kizzy.. I've got to wait until this evening. My mums coming to hospital to sit with Samuel whilst Dave and I go home to vote. If I'd had half a brain, I'd have applied for a postal vote but it didn't even cross my mind!

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 :)

Kizzy 18-09-2014 11:11 AM

Josy mentioned something about it was said they had to be in pencil, very odd that...

Aw don't cry lee, I think yes or no there will be big changes ahead for Scotland :hug:

At least he doesn't have a vote anyway considering he lives and trains in England. If Murray had his way then Wimbledon won't be his home crowd any more so he can't complain if he gets nowhere near the same support there :idc:

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.

Vanessa 18-09-2014 01:34 PM

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

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.
