smarmy carmy has just endangered us again ...when will that useless piece of human excrement hand in his notice .....no brains only greed and no respect for the people he is meant to represent 

We need more smart classy restaurants to open up to give choice, the choice is very limited in Shetland, where the food and surroundings inside and out are to a high standard.
I really hope he pushes this all the way, it is what Shetland needs along with some smarter pubs/bars that also serve quality meals.

I wonder just how many of the S.I.C find themselves able to comfortably walk across Lerwick, how many find that they have to use the bus service and how many blatantly order somebody else to do it for them, and whether that has anything to do with the fact that the proposed restaurant is having to fight, tooth and nail, because the S.I.C think that the bus service that they provide is utterly crap.

This needs a major review . The planning department is not fit for purpose.

I think what this incident has highlighted is that many people are not happy about the way planning decisions are carried out in Shetland and how the policies appear to be open to interpretation in such a way as it seems to be different rules for different people because of decisions being so inconsistent. 

If we set up a new Government free of the interference from the EU/UK then we could create a planning policy which better suits Shetland and hopefully get a system which works better for everyone. 

apart from those living in lerwick nearly every-one else has to use a car if they wish to eat out ,in my case it would be half the distance to parkhouse as it is to lerwick so the council is adding to my carbon footfall.
it would also give much needed employment in the north end as we can't all work at sullon voe

why can't the all the staff work a 5 out of 7 days a week?years ago i was in the ambulance service and our hours were changed to this system a slight rise in pay(could be paid for with the withdrawal of on call money)weekends are just another working day no need for time or double time.
bonus of this system is that people could get a routine x ray appointment for these days ensuring that the staff have a workload the same as they do monday-friday

For anyone unfortunate enough to have entrusted their car into the hands of Hillside motors recently it will come as no surprise that they went bust. Our car hasnt been the same since it was there. 
With waiting times of up to a month to get an appointment in a Lerwick  garage and at least a week in the country you have to be a special kind of useless to make a garage fail in Shetland nowadays. 
Maybe he should have filled it full of one arm bandits. He,s an expert in those apparently. LOL

unfortunatly most of the media is controlled by Westmonster and therefor they must obey the masters on what they put out ...fortunatly Scotland has a different legal system so anyone with a modicum of wit can ignore the would be controllers ...i pray Scotland can be independant shortly then we can function as a fair and careing society not controlled by the higher English elite who are still in the 18th centuary and think we are a part of the empire 

anti terror squad /drugs squad/any gov dept you can think of worse than the stazi now nothing sacred

Anybody else ever had an incoming by Courier package which had obviously been opened somewhere en route, and more than probably, extremely badly botched back together again?
 
If so, any idea by whom, where and why?

Hopefully David Mundell, and whoever else had their fingers in the pie, will pay for what they are guilty of, too.

Perfect George--I bet you have told a lie!   

If you muddy the waters enough it gets neigh impossible to sort truth from fiction ...that is what the right honourable (now that is a twist on language ) is doing ...if he was an honourable person not grubbing to stay as long as he can bleed the money from the job he woud fall on his sword ..but as he is a person of questionable trust he will contrive to hang on in the hope memories are short (not in the case of the people he decieved )

HI    I AM 73 YEARS YOUNG so i can remember the real merchant marine and the fishing before the do gooders and the sea cadets got to do  it this way    cheers brian    splice the main brace 

john here ....i remember one trip in particular on the old ninian returning from a long trip in the merchant navy when you could walk on the bulkheads when she rolled ..a good friend of mine and i spent most of the night walking around what was then the second class accomadation we got home none the worse for wear i am afraid i have no respect for someone who has only run a cross river ferry taking on a north atlantic ferry they are only out for profit and any excuse to reduce speed or tie up earns them another thousand or so .....brak oot da galley an git some o wir aald salts ta mak dem tink 

has anyone costed the policing of fly tipping in a vast remote area like Shetland or the cost of installing cameras to watch for this methinks not he council come up with hair brained schemes to confuse the issue and cover their tracks cost cutting is not just about money but the best use of the money available and the planning to use it ....goodnigh from john

What i find annoying people outwith Shetland and have no concept of rural outlying areas spout opinions just to be noticed put them as far west in a remote area and let them spend a winter like 1947 and then ask them their opinion after living off rabbits and shellfish and if lucky reestid mutton ...tatties and point comes to mind  JOHN remembers the 47 snow

Shetland was pledged by Denmark to Scotland by marriage but the pledge was never paid so in the passage of time can Denmark recall the debt and claim Shetland as part of their territory .could be a very nice earner as the most oil fields are in near proximity to Shetland considering sea areas and  the designated distance laid down for that area 

Denmark please find a document that state that you can reclaim us an release us from the demented ravings of the S N P

If we are simply voting for independence,and then once we get it decide how to run things then Wee Eck has muddied the waters with his white paper/manifesto. Perhaps he should step down now, that he has got his referendum. I fear that once he has power he will be reluctant to give it up lightly
