Wheesht Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 An interesting social experiment and nothing more. It would be interesting to know where people who contribute to this site are living and perhaps how that reflects on how they see Shetland issues. Edit: just to get it right!!

trout Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 The terms "short term" and "long term" are slightly subjective. "A couple of years, or family history goes back till records were kept?" "I'm planning on staying here; I've been here; for 5 years, that must be long term?" etc. etc. Perhaps if it were expanded to incorporate more meaning to that two selections the overall results will be more reflective of Shetlinks user group. **huge debate springs up** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just interesting to see how the balance lies between those who choose to stay here (yea I do) and those who don’t but obviously have a interest in us and our peerie bit of the world. Short-term, to me anyway, would be someone with a short-term job who had no longer term plan to stay in Shetland, loads of them at, for example, SVT.
