They prematurely declared Scotland an independent country. Oops.

Someone over at Made.com is having a bad day

Well, this is awkward.

Someone over at the home interiors site Made.com was a little over-excited this morning at the prospect of a Yes vote in yesterdays' Scottish Referendum.

They sent out this to its users outlining their launch in 'the newly independent country' of Scotland - and they were even offering occasion-appropriate blue products.

The only problem, of course, is that Scotland voted to remain part of the United Kingdom so Made.com had to hastily send out this apology email - celebrating the Union and welcoming S Scotland back.

Changed their tune fairly rapid, didn't they? Twitter, of course, noticed the blunder.

And over on CNN, they were having a bit of a day yesterday as well, when this unfortunate error started doing the rounds online.

We're sure the Scots gave it their all, but 110%? Come on, CNN.
