Andy Murray's tweet

For all we know, he could well be pleased his mother is doing it but, quite rightly, from personal experience, is concerned how she will be treated by the media.

The programme hasn't even started and the media are jumping on him and his mother already.

Ana

From what I have read, he has annoyed the 'No' camp by stating that he would have voted 'yes'.

^My son's partner once said, "I did not know you could dance," to me.
My son said, "She can't!"^

I agree - it sounds more like the kind of mother/son banter that I'm used to. I had been grilling some bacon and the fat splashed onto the element and smoke poured out of the grill and set the smoke alarm off; my son, without missing a beat, shouted upstairs to everyone else 'dinner's ready' cheekly little so and so

HollyDaze, I like that,

HollyDaze - so, only 55% of Scots then!

I hope that stops - no-one in the competition should have their experience affected by manipulation of the public by media slant.

Thank you Anniebach - I could fill a small notebook with all the ribbing I've taken off my son over the years (and my life would have been a poorer one without the smiles and laughs it all brought)

Yes Ana, quite a percentage! I'm not a particular fan of Andy Murray (or tennis in general) but sometimes I do feel for those who always seem to say the wrong thing at the wrong time to the wrong people

Judy may have quoted Andy as saying 'you'll be terrible', but we have no idea of the tone of voice or the facial expression with which he accompanied his remark. I get plenty of banter from my sons, some of it unrepeatable. But I know they'd do anything for me. And I can give as good as I get, but equally they know I would do (almost) anything for them. All this is a massive storm in a very small teacup.

holly my DC used to shout that most Sundays when I opened the oven door to check the roast potatoes and the (very sensitive) smoke alarm went off!

It would appear to be a favourite 'joke' with the children rosequartz - my son came here today and I'd left some books out to take to the charity shop. The book on the top is by Maureen Ash and entitled 'A Plague of Poison'. My son picked it up and said 'this your new cookery book mum'

One of mine referred to my 'lousy cooking'. I made him eat his words - almost literally. His six-year-old son recently told me I was a 'wonderful cook'.

At least one them has learned then
