  1. It was bristows that owned them but another company won the search and rescue contract, that might be why some are empty!?
  2. I think that Martin Huebeck (not sure of the spelling) gathers the corpses up, He has recently been gathering up dead chicks after the high winds we've had recently, because many chicks have been washed of the cliff faces!
  3. Jims garage has a full laser set up last time i had a car done it wis a standard charge o £75 dat's if everything is free and they don't have tae spend to much time on it!
  4. It might be worth getting a set of steel wheels and fitting snow tyres to them especially if you don't do alot of miles because if you have to pay each time you want the tyres changed it could get quite expensive! i'd recommend Delting auto services his prices are quite reasonable compared to the over (inflated) prices most of the lerwick places will charge!
  5. Hi if your going tae be shooting with a lamp it's a good idea tae phone the lerwick police station first ( just to let them know) or theres a good chance of getting a visit fae dem! i don't think there's a official law in scotland about shooting near the road as long as your not shooting ON the public highway but the police would tend to use the english law as a guide which says you must be 50 mtrs from the public road and shooting away from it I think!! My uncle in bigton got a visit from the police at half one in the morning after someone reported him shooting on his own land miles from anyone! I was also speaking to someone the other day who had his rifle confiscated for not having it in a bag while travelling on the main road, although it was lying across the back seat unloaded????
  6. I have been stopped a couple of times for routine stops to check tyres and lights which i don't mind! other than the last time i was stopped where i recieved a warning for using my mobile phone while driving! which i found strange as it was dark (so they couldn't of seen it if i was) and that the battery was flat so i wouldn't of been able to use it anyway! And while on the subject of the police i would say the two worst pieces of driving i have seen in shetland have both been carried out by the police!
  7. yeah i see da hydro wirking at da ward hill. i doubt it's a transformer prob! Seems tae be happening a lot just noo i winder if dir coming tae da end o dir life span?
  8. You could try the bigton farm they grow various kinds o totties one kind is shetland blacks! If you go to anywhere that fits tyres they will be usually be happy for you to take them cause they have to pay to dump them!
