PASTA Mick Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 BOOM!!! My little sister has just gone from no to yes. I think I've just got 1 Better Together supporter (that has a vote) on my Facebook that will vote no. I've got a week to work on her!

Dillinger Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 Total stranger that I had a big debate with about a year ago on the facebook status of a mutual friend, who was firmly no, is now a yes apparently. Also, in the wee creche at St Enoch's centre earlier - six adults, four with yes bracelets (including me), one of the other two was my missus who's obviously yes and the other was the wife of a fellow Yesser, so good chance she was too. Nice company to keep! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faddy'sMrs Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Guy who's been staunch no since start of campaign jumped to Yes yesterday. Fed up of scaremongering and arrogance of WM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotlad Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 A lassie at work who had a staunch No for the past couple of years - rubbishing even the very concept of independence - 'fessed up today that she completed her postal vote last night - and voted Yes. Apparently she was about to choose No, then at the last minute looked at her ballot paper and voted Yes instead. Honestly, from the way she was going on this time last year, if she can have a change of heart anyone can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stapes Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) Was getting quite down about the fact that people on here were turning lots of people to Yes on Facebook, but just didn't seem to be happening to me, Three tonight admitted they'd now be voting Yes, whilst three said No. I'll take a 50% success rate (for now). My son was telling me that a girl from his school took a Yes badge from him at the Big Debate. Afterwards she handed it back saying that both her parents were Nos and she couldn't be bothered arguing with them. Smart them kids!

TartanTeddy Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Looking for a bit of reassurance. Post Germany I had to come straight to London for work and I'm still here until tomorrow. Media in London/England now has the referendum a dead cert for No and then a mate in Glasgow who is pro Yes but often a bit pessimistic texted me about going to the Usher Hall gig on sunday but added that he thought it was looking bad for Yes. So basically I'm here and bricking it that there has been a huge swing to No - but comments on this thread suggest it's going OK back home. Has anything really changed since I left Glasgow a couple of weeks ago?? TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stapes Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Just noticed another two going to Yes on my Facebook page - one of whom I really expected to be a No. So 5-3 in the last day. TT - I felt like this yesterday, that it was all slipping away. That doesn't appear to be the case though. Time will tell, but my confidence has returned. Out leafleting in Mayfield today and lots of Yes posters up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anything really changed since I left Glasgow a couple of weeks ago?? TT The mood on 'the street' is getting palpably more tense than it was a week ago, and the MSM salvo has been relentlessly anti-Yes. Anecdotally, however, I am not aware of it having much effect; Yeses are still Yes, most Nos are still Nos, and undecideds are still undecided. The guy who sits next to me at work, who announced last week that he plans to abstain from voting altogether because 'they are all the same', had a wee light bulb moment on Monday after the 'lovebombing' began. 'Why are they offering all this now?', he asked. He knows my stance on the issue well and I did my best to talk him in to voting Yes - again - to little obvious avail. Eventually I furnished him with a copy of the trusty Wee Blue Book, in the hope that the answers he seeks can be found there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TartanTeddy Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) Thanks lads good to hear - and yes, probably good to switch the TV off and to stop reading the London Evening Standard (which is bordering on the hysterical). And then of course get the bag packed and head up the road to do a bit of last minute campaigning and vote. Still bricking it, but as I look out the hotel window at Wembley Stadium, I can at least have a wee think about 1967, when they said we had no chance of coming away with a victory, and look what a bunch of gallus wee Scots achieved then TT Edited September 11, 2014 by TartanTeddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartan Tarantula Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Old man went canvassing the undecideds this evening on Lewis. Got through 12 people: 8 Yesses, 4 Nos.
