Mammy chilli Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 I have heard about two publications that were around during the construction of Sullom Voe, and wondered if there were any others, either official or not? I would also love to see some copies of the Staneyhill Free Press if any still exist - apparently it was sometimes hand-written. Old copies of Sullom Voe Scene would also be appreciated, to borrow, or buy. And finally, does anyone have a copy of the article that was published in, I think, the Daily or Sunday Mail, circa 1980, about Lek the Viking? I would love to have a read of it if anyone can help?

bug Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Bill Jardine who worked at SVT was the author of the "Staney Hill Free Press" a superb hard hitting and downright hilarious monthly satirical "newsletter" The "Free Press" name came along after his very first newsheet (1 page of A4) called "Terminal Tidbits" was banned by site mangement. He was staying in the Staney Hill Oil Camp at the time. Anyway the free press raised thousands of pounds for charity of over the years it was produced and I understand it became supported by the SVT management in it's production. Bill Jardine went on the publish a "proper" book calledTales of Sullom Woe by Jardine, Bill 9781858210919ISBN 10: 1858210917 / 1-85821-091-7 ISBN 13: 9781858210919Publisher: Publication Date: 1993 It is an excellent book written in the same style as the Free Press was. You may even recogonise folks you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
