Think that may be a good idea, airport is closed at the moment. I had to fly south at the beginning of december, took the boat the night before,and was planning to fly back the next day,but ended up being stranded in Aberdeen, as the last flight home was cancelled.

Well that is the Old Anderson High School now closed and the New school just about ready to open.

 

A lot of the work to provide this new school has been done by outside contractors,guess we did not have the expertise or the manpower to be able to do it with local labour only at a price suitable to the powers that be.

 

But surely with all the vans and trucks that are here in Shetland we could have mustered enough manpower and vehicles to shift all the bits and pieces from the old school to the new one without the need of Pickfords

 

Then again these trucks are probably coming north filled to the gunwales with brand new desks and chairs ect, so just use them while they are here to do the rest !  :oops:

Nah. By the looks of it they came up stuffed full of cardboard boxes, all plastered with the Pickfords logo......Which are now going to be used for one quick short trip across the town, then more than probaby for the most part straight off to the dump.

 

Between Tesco and the Coop they surely could have gotten enough gaddered over the last while to do, its not like they didn't know long ago they were gonna flit.

 

The irony of this following so close on the tail of the SIC's plans to rack up local 'recycling' is duly noted.

If Pickfords do a good job here, they might get called to shift all the bruck back to the Whitehouse  :twisted:

 

Now, that IS the stuff that needs to go straight to the incinerator.

 

They can't take it back with them anyway, it'll just start knocking that shed down in a different way with all its weight if they do.
