[willowbankbear]

He lives not in the Royal Burgh so who knows? I ken a few though,any up at reay Rheggers?

[Rheghead]

Not a sausage in Reay but when they next come round selling their crumby sketches, I might suggest they might get richer working for Tescos in Wick.

The ones who go around selling the pictures already do have jobs.

At least they want to work, unlike some lazy locals.

quite right connie, atleast they want to work for a living unlike some who are more than happy to sit on the dole getting hand outs.
makes me sick when people have a pop at the polish

In fact, they're not stupid. Rent and council Tax paid, free prescriptions, free school dinners, free vets treatment for their pets. In fact I was even noticing that they ony have to pay 50p to et into the gym. I think I might become unemployed myself, what a life!! And they can afford to go out every weekend.

Your right about the free rent, although they do pay some poltary amount towards council tax. Free school dinners and perscriptions yes, but when since have they been allowed free vets treatment? i don't think that's right! is it.?

[krieve]

I think they are allowed vets treatment at a cheaper rate but i don't think it is free but i could be wrong.

Because there was/is a problem with so many unwanted litters of kittens, the PDSA pay for your cat to get dressed. But is all of your pet care paid for.?

[krieve]

Not sure Angela i don't know for sure but thats the way it used to be.

The unemployed can join the PDSA, for £3 a year their pets get all the vetinary treatment required. Meanwhile us working people can hardly afford to have a pet.

Pity Tesco`s dont sell pets as they`d be cheep(well the budgies would)

Wasn't this about Tesco?

And was the rumour about the Caithness Glass building not that it was going to be a fast food complex- Macdonalds/KFC/Pizza Hut/Burger King and Subway?

A Baskin Robbins ice cream place would be nice- or a Starbucks

It does not take long to build a Tesco- it's a prefabricated arrangement- they're spreading up from Aberdeen -Inverness- hotly followed by Asda.

But when do we get a M&S?

I think we should wait and see if tesco arrives before dreaming of a marks and sparks

The PDSA scheme at the vets is not just for unemployed, its for anyone who is on housing or council tax benefit for whatever reason.

Without wanting to open a can of worms, don't any of you fear for local traders with all these chain stores opening up. You might moan about what you have now but at least it individualises you as a town. You might become as bland as the rest of Britain before too long. True, crisps and beans willl be dirt cheap but life might never be the same again. I relaise the jobs will be welcome but as an outsider might I be brave enough to sound a note of caution?

Oh, allright then.

[Fran]

If you live up here you will learn that there is your time - normal time and Caithness time. NOTHING will ever change that.
THe same applies to the people - and it has been a great pleasure and experience to adopt to Caithness time.
They can build a supermarket on every corner - but it will not change Caithness - or it's people - and nor it should.
