Yes or no, which are you? That's the only question in Scotland at the moment. I get asked it a lot myself when I interview referendum campaigners from both sides. I was even asked it by our own Richard Bacon.
When it happens, I make like Zippy - the kids' tv character who has a zip instead of a mouth. Honestly I'm glad my job demands strict neutrality. This story of high passion combined with huge historic significance couldn't be done any other way.
My moment of the week was standing between Yes and No campaigners on Buchanan Street in Glasgow. I turned my microphone one way and it picked up the chant "Scotland says no". I turned it the other and it was "Scotland says yes". There could be no clearer indication that right now this is a divided country.
Later that day I was with Yes campaigners in the Dennistoun area of Glasgow. There was much excitement in their office as they got ready to unveil a new secret weapon - an ice-cream van done up with Yes logos. It'll tour the streets of this working-class area of the city, blasting out all the familiar jingles, combined with loudspeaker messages encouraging people to get out and vote yes. Sadly no double 99s will be on offer, but no doubt some people will be as delighted to see it as a real ice-cream van. Others not so much.
Of course the big question is, who will win? But there is a second one, almost as important: what happens to all those people, it might be close to half the population, who wake up to a future they didn't vote for? Because this is not like a normal election. There won't be another go at it in five years. I put that to the veteran independence campaigner, Jim Sillars. He told me if it was a yes, by next summer it'd be hard to find anyone who'd admit to having voted no. If it goes the other way, those who've always favoured independence will still be here. Whether their organisation will remain a mass movement, that's another question.
But as I look forward to the big night and the morning after - possibly the biggest reporting challenge of my career - I suspect that the Scotland I've got to know since I moved here in 1990 will never be quite the same again. And that'll be true whether it's a no or a yes.
