MuckleJoannie Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 I wonder if the them and us mentality with the oil workers is due to the lack of local people working there.I was around during the origimal Sullom Voe construction era in the 1970's. Then there was a flood of local people and returning expatriates going to work there. I suppose there was a different drinking culture then but I recall everyone socialising peacably.

amno Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Dear god you lot love to moan!!! I bet there isnt all that much trouble, are you sure you dont FEEL intimidated due to the sheer number of unknowns rather than them doing anything to intimidate you? Besides theres a good chance its only a few folk causing trouble and probalby the same people causing trouble every time. So if the police cant help you? you already said shetland has enough violent people already you know you could just take said trouble makers outside and leather them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHUCK NORR1S Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Anybody that thinks there isn't a problem hasn't been in the MidBrae recently. Yes Mikey, i imagine most of the contributors here are either not on the island or have not been in any of the 2 Brae pubs, and surprise surprise, the report in the times this week said there were no issues, specifically the land lady of the Lights, well of course she'd say that, absolute horse sh1t!! Since the site started there have been over 600 employees sacked due to failing of drug/alcohol tests and of misbehaviour in the community.
