Following on from another topic on the go........
I have to agree I often visit the cinema and there have never been more than 12 people there at any one of my visits, on two occasions my niece and myself were the only ones there to view the current films.
So sad to see a place under used, especially when we moaned for so long about not having one.
And you are also right, they do bring up newly released films that we previously had to scoot down to Inverness for.
Whilst on the subject of Inverness, I canna wait til the new business park in Wick is built.
I am not a fan of travelling up and down the road to Inverness. I have better things to do with my free time than spend it sitting in the car.
I am so pleased we are going to be receiving suitable outlets here on our doorstep and please please, don't winge local shopkeepers I don't see that these will hurt your businesses more like benefit them, coz I for one would be browsing down the main street and popping into a local cafe/pub/restaurant for lunch when I am down shopping which is something that I wouldn't normally be doing every weekend. I am sure others from Thurso and up the west coast will be doing the same. We will be new customers to you all and I for one am looking forward to more visits back to my home town and seeing old familiar faces that I only see on birthdays, xmas etc.
Thurso might only be 21 miles away but with working 5 days a week I never find the time at the weekends to visit Wick, I could just as easily be living in London ! My weekends are spent shopping - so hopefully my shopping will soon be in Wick. Looking forward to it already.
Many of my Thurso colleagues at Dounreay feel the same and can't wait til Tesco and the others come to Wick. They too will be doing there big grocery shopping in Wick and lunching out so take heid.
It isn't all doom and gloom.
