    there is an old irish song that comes to mind when i read the comments on this subject one line in particular says the strangers came and tried to teach us thier ways and scorened us for being what we are but they might as well go chaseing after moonbeams or light a penny candle from a star

    strange that the scottish government (or was it king alex)decided to delay the timing of the choice of preferred bidder for the ferry service to coincide with the local council elections methinks scottish government is a thorn in shetlands side can we begin to gather enough dane guild to buy our freedom

    i've been looking for a cheap alternator for my car. i was thinking of all the scrapyards down the road and wondered why shetland doesn't have one or more would it be a good idea for the firm that picks up the scrap cars to offer this service?

    in everything i have read i can not find the alternative i would think that is the most sensible . go for isle of man status this could invite a large amount of rich buisness people if the tax incentives were inviting and possibly be very acceptable to the oil industry

    from 1989 till garages went totally on to litres lerwick was 10p or so a gallon more than aberdeen if they could maintain that differential then how come they can't now

    i thought buisness retailers were supposed to have a notice in their premisis stating they charge x amount for card transactions best to ask trading standards if you have been ripped off as banks are now suffering for their rip off charges then you can get recompense for covert overcharging

    i would consider a system to save on energy bills but untill the planning regulations on wind generators is removed i will not bother the power providers no doubt have the scottish parliament in their pocket as far as letting the masses have free planning so i will have to pay them their blood money

    the grammer and usage of the shetland dialect was reprinted but i do not know if it is still available if it is would it not be good for the younger generation to have a copy available in every school to let them see da midder tongue

    how do you think old shetlanders like myself feel my grandmother helped to construct the book called grammer and usage of the shetland ldialect most of the shetland toung has gone except when i visit the outer isles i still hear old phrases used till neist ook

    if people read ancient history and scientific papers etc climates have been swinging to and fro for centuries a good book to look for is one called uriels machine this is a good starting point for your own research the government has jumped on the green hysteria machine to extract as many dollars from the working man as they can justify without being voted out of office
  24. fionajohn
    the english language is rather confusing at times why not go back to a pure language latin ok see de neist ook
