    Default What Caithness truly needs

    is more drive-through (or drive-thru) restaurants like, say, Tim Hortons.

    With a little care and attention, there should be no problem with noisy bunches of yobbos, or vacationers taking advantage of the "facilities."

    There will need to be sufficient space to avoid interference with local traffic. Remember your ability, years ago, to calmly handle flocks of sheep on public roads, or single lane highways with passing places.

    It will be necessary to protect the ordering microphone and pick-up window from the gales. For clues, look at the orientation of the front door on any sensible house built before WWII, in the countryside.

    Instantly, more tourism and properly caffeinated locals.

    Why would we want a Canadian Coffee Shop here in Caithness. We are quite happy with the Establishments we already have.

    They could build an oval circuit with parking places so once the burger is finished, its back onto the oval, race round to the drive-thru window and order again.

    Then Half way round the circuit you could build a Toilet Block so that you could stop for a Pit Stop.

    Unless it's winter & then the Toilet Block would be locked up...

    IMO theres already enough places to eat and drink in Wick & Thurso. Coastal villages are lacking in cafe's but I don't drive through is the answer.
    I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore
