  2. Irn Bru knock Coke ibnto a cocked hat when it comes to advertising. Don;t know who their agents are but they are brilliaint.
  3. How can you trade mark the words Shetland, teddy and bear, seems to go against everything they say in their website??? taken from their own gov. website here http://www.ipo.gov.uk/types/tm/t-applying/t-before/t-requirements.htm

  5. OMG you could rescue a cat with 4 legs and feed it for life for that kind or money.... Sorry. It's the hard line crofter in me. I would never consider spending that kind of money on an animal. An animal is only worth its wieght in meat to me. That's not to say I that I don't care about my animals because I really do, it's just that's where i have to draw the line. have to agree there, £1000 to take a cat's leg off is taking the pee. I cannot think how the bill got to be that much. There comes a time where first loss is best loss.
  6. Getting a vet bill always raises an eyebrow.....it's human nature I suppose. Having spoken to friends in England and Scotland and raised more than an eyebrow at what they have been charged, I am reasonably happy with the fees we pay. My brother was charged nearly £1000 to amputate his cat's front leg. When a vet asks you "are you insured?" then is the time to run screaming for the hills! My animals are not insured for vet bills, and I am quite perpared to pay reasonable fees to have my animal bolted back together in appropriate circumstances. I know Frances144 has had to have some failry major surgery on her pooch that down south, with insurance sweetening the pot, would have made your eyes water. Common sense approach, good surgery at a sensible price and everyone wins.
  7. Good manners and a sensible approach will diffuse a situation. That costs nothing. You don't need to fill a form in to be polite.The police are there to keep the peace and "UPHOLD" the law (not enforce it) Not stirr things up and deliberatly provoke folk by hurling false accusations at law abiding folk. Police are there to report the facts, not speculate on what they may or maynot have seen or would like to have seen.
  8. Hmm, everything seems to boil down to a breech of the peace. 9 times out of ten they are the ones who have provoked a reaction from someone. Do you remember when the folk at SYIS wanted to promote condoms and they had a giant condom costume that they proposed to parade in, up and down commercial street giving out information? They were told by the cheif officer that if anyone wore it in the street they'd be arrested for breech of the peace. Which beggs the question, why do you have to dress as a giant condom to get the police to patrol the street and take notice in the first place? Perhaps to stop all the window breakages folk ought to parade in giant condom suits, up and down the street at pub chucking out time and the police would be there and by default catch some vandals......
  9. We have just had a visit from an American lady who has come all the way from the US with her trained medical alert dog. That was a pedigree Shetland Sheepdog. It alerts her to when she is about to have an attack and to take her medication before she even knows she is about to have one.
  10. I use both practices, one for the small animals and the other for the big guys. Both are excellent. Compared to vets in England and Scotland they are both very reasonably priced. I have no complaints about either.
  11. I was pulled over and accused of not wearing a seatbelt, or my son who is under 18. We WERE wearing seatbelts, how the officer could not see when the seatbelt is black and I was wearing a cream fleece is beyond me. Son was wearing a white Scotland rugby shirt. The policeman was the one determined to do all the talking and not let anyone get a word in edgeways..........I am afraid I had a go at him in the middle of the street outsideThulecraft. Finally he admitted he wasn't sure, so I asked him if he took things to court and stood up infront of the Judge and told HIM he wasn't sure? If he wasn't sure why accuse me? Unprofessional, agressive and approached me in a really offensive manner.
  12. George Magee has just told me AHS is closed tomorrow Monday 1st Feb.
