  1. Guyz, I bet you havn't complained to the management even though you've used this service regularly and continue to do so and continue to be dissapointed! If the food and service is so bad then why keep using it, you know you are going on the plane so why not eat before you head to Sumburgh or take something with you. The food there is not the best value and I know this before I go but it still doesn't stop me eating there. The man in question is always polite enough to me but then again I'm quite polite to him!
  2. ^^^ Since when did councillors know what the ranks of the SIC housing services get up to? I actually don't believe what's in that report either!
  3. This 100% fact just incase there are any lingering doubts!
  4. They do interviews over the phone, abroad!
  5. Haha, not if you're a Celtic fan!
  6. Just had a packet of Fruit Pastilles from Mustards....absolutely superb, I'll be back!
  7. Must have misunderdstood Dave!
  8. I'd still be surprised about this, there are plenty of halfwits going around at the weekend capable of this, in fact broken windows on Commercial Street at the weekend is common and nothing new!
  9. Probably? Given the timing I find that rather unlikely. No way to tell, but I'd put the probability of it being linked quite high. Well if that is the case then its a real sad state of affairs!
  10. How many bedrooms and how many people sleeping Samal? Do you find condensation(water) on your windows in the morning or is the damp on the walls?
  11. Well I wasn't there last night but know quite a few people that went including my partner. I've heard nothing but good reports of the show last night from a number of people and Facebook seems to be awash with the same comments. I read the OP's post to my partner just now for which she screwed up her face and replied 'some folks are never happy'!
  12. Probably totally unrelated but as the 'race' card seems to be getting played here maybe it will suit to say they're now getting persecuted!
  13. Thanks for clearing some of that up Gillian a lot of what gets written here is just pure rubbish but honestly, you're doing yourself no favours with some of the statements in your letter to The Shetland Times and replies thereafter and with the last paragraph on your post here. The tone in which you are writing leaves a bad taste in my mouth unlike you're Puffin Poo! Sometimes it's better not to preach to the public especially when you are relying on them to put money over the counter. I hope everything works out between you and Ms Burra Bears aka Mrs Inkster or Wendy!
  14. Thats more or less exactly my thoughts too!
  15. Phone them and query the bill, Hamish is usually quite reasonable.
  16. You would have been watching it anyway wether or not the banning of the BBC had taken place or not because thats what Celtic supporters do, worry about other clubs instead of worrying about their own. ........and don't give me any of that 'public money' clap trap like the last time, remember that plumber that you pay in cash!
  17. http://www.shetlandtimes.co.uk/2011/10/19/feud-what-feud-gillian-ramsay Dear o me, thats one hell of an attitude. Why is the race card being played here? As I've stated before and anyone I've spoken too its nothing to do with where the women is from, god, she's been here 20 year, any normal person is not that narrow minded!! Its a bit like Neil Lennon people don't hate him because he's catholic, he's just an muckle sphincter!
  18. But Burra Bears isn't sueing anybody. It's Shetland Fudge and Shetland Fudge alone who are causing the trouble. If you read the Shetland News article it's obvious(states) that Burra Bears recieved a threatening legal letter from Shetland Fudge which, as Burra Bears says, left her with no choice but to seek legal advice. So I'm afraid it's plain wrong to tell them both to "just grow up and get on with it". Mrs Burra Bears is one of the friendliest and most decent people you could ever meet. I was just making a point. threatening letters can end up with people in court. Legal advice can only end up in 1 of 2 directions, 1 backs off, or they both go to court. When I said grow up and just get on with it, I was refering to the fact that both businesses should just get on with their own businesses. I m sure their both fine and freindly people, and they have both started their businesses from scratch, but a teddy is a teddy, and I just think its all just not that important in the grand scheme of things. esp with everything else thats going on in this war torn world In the grand scheme of things it may not be that important to you or I but to these two women it is their livlihood and probably even more so to Mrs Inkster as it's her idea that is blatently being copied. Somebody made the comment of Tesco and the Co-op above which was a totally ludicrous example. This idea is unique to Shetland ie bears made from fair isle jumpers etc. In a small place like Shetland why would you intentionally copy another local brand/idea which has been on the go for so long, then threaten the originator of the idea and then expect people to support you? Maybe I'm wrong in my way of thinking but to me there is no grey areas here, it is just black and white.
  19. Have to agree with you on this point Dratsy!
  20. Do you really think so? That would be a shame. I don't think thats the case, surely folk can see the right and wrong in this whether someone is from Shetland or not! I'm with the 'Original' Burra Bears team not because Mrs Ramsey isn't born and bred here, christ she's been here 20 years, created a business and doing well for the 'Shetland' name in general but I do think she's cutting of her nose to spite her face now!
  21. Judging by the comments being left here, Facebook and the Shetland Times website there's only one supplier who won't be selling bears to the 'Shetland' population! As you said though Romeo, sometimes its better just to bite your tongue but sadly some people like the sound of their own voice!
