    why should they not be aloud, they paid good money for the mart, if they want to level it and turn it a grassy park then it would be up to them,

    Me and my mate used the mart area for riding the bmx's about the place and it was allright...

    To look at it though it is absolutely minging.

    I also think the closing of liquid is terrible! I wonder what they'll build next?
    Didn't mean to critizie people like your self, but there are several buildings, one of which I belive has already been set on fire since the Mart closed. I've also gone down the street during school lunch hour to see kids throwing stones at the main buildings windows.

    There is supposed to be an asda being build in inverness.

    I'm not someone who prefers one over the other. Whichever is closest and cheapest is the one i go to.

    Just heard that Tesco have been bought over by the Ford Motor Co and all the stores will be used to store cars that can not be sold due to the recession.
    That came from Ford's European Vice President in charge of storing cars and he should know.
    Apparently as Ford are not really into the grocery trade thay are selling the Mart site to the Highland Council who going to open an allweather ski slope.

    Default Reliable

    I have to say Mr Cannop that some of the information that we receive on the org via your good self is getting a bit less than reliable.

    I have spent the last three nights stood out in the pouring rain waiting to see the Northern lights and still a no show.

    Golach you know perfectly well there are no Asda/Walmart up North I have a huge one built on 2 floors close to me its foosum and awful and tacky , A Sainsburys close by which for certain things okay
    Morrisons again ok but Tesco is fine within striking distance get what I want and home
    Which I am quite sure the good people of the county without a great deal of choice want
    when you do not have much choice you shop where suits and benefits you even it means a run from Thurso to Wick store at the weekends a trip out even
    Its nice to be nice

    What about a supermarket that caters for people like me who have no wish to mingle with the plebs?

    Somwhere where I can purchase my weekly victuals and comestables without having to put up with some lycra-wrapped lardarse who is constantly bellowing at her uncontrolled, wailing, filthy offspring blocking the aisles?
    Somewhere where wittering village idiots spouting banal drivel do not stand three abreast in the aisles oblivious to their social superiors like me who wish to pass?

    A Waitrose would be good, they have rottwielers and guards with batons on the doors, y'know.




    ooops...Peace and Love.....Peace and Love....

    There is though.....online shopping and tell them to leave it at the door. Then once they were gone you open your door and take in your shooping. No mingling needed!
