Suffererof1crankymofo Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Why should 'money' always come into the equation. Surely, the good citizens of Lerwick would be willing to provide such a public service(?) for free.... So, Colin, you'll be first IN the stocks then eh?

Fly-on-the-Wall Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Queuing........ don't they just go round and round in circles until they can get parked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that I haven't driven a car in 20 years and, I only once had to drive on the street, it would seem that I might be a pretty poor candidate. You're just taking a "pop" aren't you?

I wasn't aware it was aimed at car drivers only. Besides, think of the free entertainment value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no, that doesn't mean you can say "Women and children first". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenman Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Seems all there is along d street is empty premises and charity shops. It is so run down. Wonder what all those cruise liner passengers think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Which came first, the chicken or the egg? 30+ years ago there were very, very few cars on the street during business hours. The few that were either had a damn good reason to be there, or were crazy, as with the number of folk that was on the street, progress in a lot of places was slower than walking, if not a dead stop. Wheeling a hand barrow or carrying a delivery basket through the place was challenge enough most days given the average density of humanity, and I speak from experience on that one. So which are we to believe, that car drivers have persisted in such number for so long thats its driven so many folk away from the street to the point it by all appearances is in a terminal condition, or did the terminal decline start first, and the increase in cars is simply a side effect of that, with drivers seeing the street as increasingly more viable due to the steady decline of folk using it.

DizzyKipper Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Once I was very nearly squashed by an old couple driving the wrong way, into and alongside the traffic, toward the postoffice. Hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
