How? Lerwick, as usual, isn't even on the map! :/

Note to vote for Shetland you have to vote "Wildcard" by choosing an area; Edinburgh for instance, and then choosing "Vote Now".

 

You are presented with a screen to vote for chosen city - press "Wildcard" instead and choose "Shetland". Then vote.

Aye - yes, I'd just found that option after a bit of mucking around. In the 'reason' field, I put: "It's Britain's most northerly town!". Seems like a jolly good reason for including it to me.

[trout]

I just did it too with "It's Britain's most northerly town!" Everyone should get stuck in! Go on ... you know you want to!

 

Note: anyone having an issue with the @ symbol when entering your email - it's the flash thingy pulling an American keyboard layout The @ will be above the 2 where the " should be!! Hold shift-2 to get the @. HTH.

 

[edit]

I also note we can vote once per day too

[trout]

I would prefer it if we weren't stuck as "Old Kent Road" though

[Fjool]

Actually, OKR is technically one of the more 'valuable' properties when considering cost/benefit and location. A bit like Shetland then.

[Twerto]

managed to vote twice so far using my different email addresses.

[Muppet]

Are we voting for Lerwick or for Shetland?

 

Dont want to split the vote and lose out, do we??

[Fjool]

I'd say 'Lerwick' is the most likely to be added to the board since they appear to be after towns, rather than regions.

Yep, "Lerwick" as Location and Shetland as "County".

 

Here I'll add this all to the top post as a guide.

I voted ssshhhh 8O

It's less a 'vote', and more a 'nomination' (if that makes you feel any better about it)
