Steven W Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Beginning to find Nicola Sturgeon's tweets about books, and visiting book shops down in Wigtown today a bit off. Those of us, and of which there are many, whose hobbies and interests include attending sports events, gigs, running events etc continue to have to take a back seat. Meanwhile Sturgeon charging around the country, buying books by the shelf-load, having a whale of time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Went for my first pub pints since 23rd December there, was great to get a real pint but by god it's freezing. Name and phone number wanted but done in 2 minutes so no hassleHad mine yesterday. Also got bought a tequila and invited to a wedding in October by a couple of jakeys I'd never met before so it was a good day all round. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand by this 100% Yip, Sanquhar and Kirkconnel are clearly Ayrshire towns, while Langholm is clearly a Borders one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit - I applaud the First Minister for her fine choice of authors. I was expecting Tartan Noir and some sort of Hillary Clinton type pish but this is all good. Double edit - Turns out this Kirkpatrick is a war mongering centrist who was in Reagan's cabinet so approval removed.

Elixir Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 13 minutes ago, Inanimate Carbon Rod said: Hearing from a member of staff that TUI airlines are looking very unlikely to be flying from Scotland this year due to the negativity from the SG, following on from Virgin Atlantic on friday. It's like the Scottish Government want to torch travel, tourism, and aviation. They do realise they will never, ever win an independence referendum if they let this happen, right? 5 minutes ago, Steven W said: Beginning to find Nicola Sturgeon's tweets about books, and visiting book shops down in Wigtown today a bit off.

If there no limits on private house ( which there fuckin well shouldn’t be anyhow ) whilst the rest of the economy has to operate with one hand tied behind its back then the baw is well and truly burst for hospitality 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping this is just the usual click bait based off the fact that the most pessimistic stories generate the most traffic. Or (as they have done for the past year) the government planting stories to gauge public reaction prior to actually making policy decisions. However if this happens in conjunction with removal of government financial support then it will destroy the entire hospitality industry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Financial support is surely likely to go for venues that are allowed to open, regardless of how constrained they are to actually do business. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
