According to the Daily Mirror someone had left on the train, 54% of Scots will vote no, 40% yes, and 7% don't know.

Right you are.

Nothing wrong with that, given that they're rounding to the nearest percent. It will be something like 53.6% no, 39.7% yes and 6.7% don't know. Rounding errors often cause rounded-off numbers to fail to add up to their nominal total.

I do actually know that, but I'm allowed to be amused aren't I?

They could have said ' the remainder don't know' if they had any sense at all...
