Colin Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 They claim to have recieved "funding" so, it must be a "budget" thing. What gets me is;Why couldn't they just erect a good old-fashioned "3 walls and a bench" type shelter ? Instead, we are going to get something that is either a yoal, a broch, or a squeezebox (?). I suppose they just had to pay something to a "design consultant". Little wonder that they are in the sh*t financially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urabug Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 WTF doesn't even come close Ghostie! Will district heating even exist in the foreseeable Urabug?!Well I don't possess a magic bowl but it is highly unlikely even when they cannot feed the beast it's favorite food anymore they will allow it to die.

The Cleaner Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 True George but at least it was something useful & cost effective being done with our waste & toonies aren't getting it for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyboy Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 I guess anything that gets people out and about walking is a good thing healthwise.They have probably tapped a source of funding from central government or EU that is ring fenced.

Nigel Bridgman-Elliot Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Should be cheap enough to put something up made of say, oh I don't know, something a bit wind resistant, like stone..We have lots of stone, its about £35 a ton isn't it ?Or folk could just donate a rock or two when they pass. These seem more suitable to me, or perhaps a combination of designs, as you want something with a roof for when its raining cat & dogs..But not the kind of roof that blows away in high winds..http://www.drystonedesigns.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/argyll-1.jpg Acid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urabug Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Please please for goodness sake do not apply common sense. This has to be modern art not a pile of old stones. Suffererof1crankymofo and Nigel Bridgman-Elliot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ghostrider Posted September 11, 2018 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 I'm left wondering how this proposed shelter will be 'healthy' - considering its most prolific users are most likely to be alkis looking to get pissed and sleep it off in relative peace, smackheads shooting up and adolescent teens performing carnal experimentation.

Popular Post Guest PJS1979 Posted September 11, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Money would be better spent else where, no need for Shelters, a few wooden benches, fix the paths if they need it, perhaps low energy lighting and bins for dog waste, thats enough thebfg, Ghostrider, George. and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davie P Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 I wonder if folk here have been too busy getting torn into the one design they don't like to notice the others https://www.healthyshetland.com/news/sletts-footpath-improvements I quite like the 'Yoal Shelters' Reusing unused rowing boats from around the islands to create a series of shelters along the path (single or in groups of 2 or 3) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
