The Shetlands (what's your take on this term?)
groilick replied to turrifield's topic in Shetland News
There is a geographical convention for naming island groups using the singular (e.g. Shetland) or the plural (e.g. The Scillies): If the land area of the main island is greater than the total land area of the smaller islands then the singular is used i.e. Shetland. If the land area of the main island is smaller then the plural is used i.e. The Scillies. -

Section 161 of the Highways Act 1980 (England & Wales) makes it an offence to discharge a firearm within 50 ft of the centre of a highway having vehicular rights without lawful authority or excuse, if as a result a user of the highway is injured, interrupted or endangered. The Highways Act does not apply in Scotland but Procurators Fiscal may use common law offences of 'culpable and reckless conduct' and 'reckless endangerment' in situations in which the 1980 Act would be contravened in England and Wales.

Surely these charges should be part of the ticket price or clearly explained rather than just added on as 'charges' If your flight is cancelled or if you cancel your flight you are entitled to a refund of taxes and charges. Flybe/Loganair charge you an admin fee of £25 to refund money that is not theirs but they would like to keep. http://www.loganair.co.uk/service-info/flybe/customer-relations If you saw BBC Watchdog on Ryanair (who Flybe are copying) last night you will know that the actual cost of Credit Card transaction to them is just a few pence.
