unlinkedstudent Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 They should be thankful it wasn't a 4X sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suuusssiiieee Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Next they'll target Flint's parrot at this rate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 If the Times had printed this story one week earlier, nobody would have believed it because of the date. At least some good will come of it though, next year's UHA now has some material to play with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Next they'll target Flint's parrot at this rate... Cue a well known Monty Python sketch, if they try that. They'll maybe leave it alone as long as its not a Norwegian Blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenfingers Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Bonny night.Went for walk around Da Knab.Come back in ta da esplanade fae Da Sooth End.Cut doon between da Queens an da Tollbooth ta whit used ta be Da Sma Boat Harbour.Whit a desecration.There's that much decking that there's hardly any room for boats. Seats that don't look like seats waiting to break kneecaps when walked into. Who wants to sit and look at the traffic passing by the back of the Post Office? And as for that futuristic railing. Might look OK on Canary Wharf or Blackpool promenade but not in a prime conservation area. Planning must have been asleep when they rubber stamped this monstrosity.Walk a 100 meters along the road to have a look at the red T which I'd never noticed before. Cant see what all the fuss is about. But take a look at the cluster of satellite dishes on the side of the building.How did that lot get past the planning Dept.?

Carlos Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 I might be wrong, but I think that falls under harbour ground and as such LPA did not have to get planning permission? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustMe Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 I might be wrong, but I think that falls under harbour ground and as such LPA did not have to get planning permission?Well they should have to get planning permission and if the law needs changing then the government should change it. Agree with Greenfingers about the satellite dishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Sorry, was talking about the small boat harbour, in case it wasn't clear.Pretty sure they don't need planning permission for the "harbour works" i.e. the sea wall. How far inland of that they can work before they do need it I'm not sure. As far as the OP, then yes, it'd be needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fartypants Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 What a joke this is over a stupid thing like a silly little sign..I bet some or most of the idiots who made the decision about this sign are all for putting up massive wind turbines and ruining our beautiful island...

icepick239 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Keeeep the TWith the Purple/Pink paintwork, the question is:Is it still called the Thule? Or is it now to be called the Toolie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhutch Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 sure theres more that goes on inside the Thule thats much more worthy of attention as a harmless lit up red sign on the frontage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peerie t Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Just out o curiosity, what ever came o da old thule sign? I would have thought with the age of it, there would have been more of a fuss from planning for that going walkabout than a tiny little T that no one really noticed... Also, since when was that manky purple colour considered an appropriate colour for a building in the conservation area anyway?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Also, since when was that manky purple colour considered an appropriate colour for a building in the conservation area anyway?!! It would appear to be the "business' colours" of JWG plc. --> http://shetlopedia.com/images/6/60/The_North_Star_-_Lerwick_-_Shetland_-_Shetlopedia.JPG. Just wait until they get around to doing the Graand an Wheens in the same style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
