There are plenty of jobs in Shetland just now but there is a housing shortage. Incomers are buying houses as soon as they come on the market at premium prices so there increasing pressure on the council and the housing association to provide homes for locals.

The Scottish local elections are scheduled be held on Thursday 5 May 2022. The problem the SIC has managing its finances is that we grew used to the services that were affordable when it had loads of money. The councillors are terrified of cutting services in case they are voted out and the officials want to hold onto their jobs.

I got one like that after the infestation we had a couple of years ago. The only fly it killed is one I found resting on thet bars enjoying the heat and when I pinged the grid he flew off into the zapper.

I'm still lurking here every night.

The SIC don't do this any more. As far as I am aware you need to take it to a local bottle bank.

WIth Boris's proposed trip to India, which was cancelled, and the Australian agreement it appears to me that Boris is trying to reconnect with the UK's former colonies and restore our former glories as an imperial power.

Michael Gove was brought up in Aberdeen.

Ian Blackford's expenses seem to be similar to Aliatair Carmichael's, which is not surprising as they represent some of the most remote constituencies in the UK..https://www.theipsa.org.uk/mp-staffing-business-costs/your-mp/ian-blackford/4390 https://www.theipsa.org.uk/mp-staffing-business-costs/your-mp/alistair-carmichael/1442

The Co-op was the only shop in Brae before it was expanded. In my opinion if the Co-op want to open a new branch in the Central Mainland they should do it in Tingwall. There is no shop there and it is expanding faster than Scalloway at the moment.

Rearo are still going strong. I had cause to phone them a few months back to see if they would accept back a gas cylinder I had got from them 25 years ago. They said the only way to get rid of old gas cylinder was to return them to their depot as the SIC won't accept them at the dump.
