Infiltrator Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 do i even need to ask how much was lost to this company. Lost by whom? They never received any council funding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infiltrator Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 maybe not but they got 0.5Million from Shetland enterprise... Hence my question, I wondered if Paul was being specific with the funding he was referring to. I'm not sure how much the shareholders have effectively lost as well.

paulb Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 How on earth did the trust fail in this wonderful chance to throw money away. They must have been slacking. Shetland booze made in scotland, I suppose that makes sense when you can buy your Shetland smokehouse fish from there to. Somewhere there was a mention of bottled water now thats an idea just as its becoming unfashanable to drink bottled water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infiltrator Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I don't think they got their Whisky, wasn't that the plan for the stuff that was stolen from the warehouse recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corporate Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Because she has realised that there is still.....still..a bunch of numpties called the economic development dept of sic who will do anything they can to get out of contemplating supporting local businesses, but trip over themselves chasing after any tom dick harry(or caroline) with any half baked idea, as long as it involves spedning large amounts of public money and then going donw the tubes.......Its been going on for the last 30 years.

Para Handy Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Could they not use the Mareel when it is built then maybe the sic could get some of the money back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frances144 Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 So.... all I have to do is go south and buy a box of say, Bells whiskey (nice blended stuff), bring it up here, store it about the place for a few days, weeks or years, then get some labels printed and call it Shetland whiskey and sell it at twice the price? yes?
