beachcaster Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 I see one of the caravans at Rova Head has been demolished by the wind, the body has been ripped clean off the chassis and has been reduced to splinters. Coming to Shetland in January in a flimsy caravan was probably the best idea they ever had.Oops, just noticed a bit of a typo, the last sentence should read "......probably not the best idea they ever had" CrunchieSquirrel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostrider Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) ^ Send them to either the SIC Housing or Hjaltland office, between them they have thousands of roofs needing cleaning, should keep them from bothering normal folk for a few weeks anyway.

Urabug Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 There was a team up here in Shetland some years ago that laid some fancy paths around some houses that looked good at the time and some still look ok. Possibly not all those travelling folk are bad,and some may do a good job at a reasonable rate . The problem is who do we trust ,i certainly would be careful and not give them any money up front.
