I checked the computer today and read that the dump was open from 9 to 5, the times for the xmas new year fortnight being different. So I set off this afternoon for a 30 mile run only to find the dump closed. Maybe this means all times have changed or the gale force winds meant the dump was to be closed today! But whatever the reason maybe someone at the council could update the website, adding a closed due to weather warning or something. Maybe there was something on the radio that I have missed, but surely there are enough people employed by the council spending all day on computers, for someone to update the website. If I lived in Lerwick it's fine and handy, but the skips have been taken away from us simple country folk, so let's have some information on when we need to drive to the dump. That knackered dishwasher and other sundries will be leaving a large carbon footprint.
