Something good about Wick?

**hotrod4** · 11-Jan-09, 11:28

There are 3 different threads that paint Wick as a bad place to live. How about having something good to say about the town?
Wick has some of the friendliest people you will ever meet,and (at times) has a Community spirit that is second to none, just look at how Wickers came together for the Gala?.
Its not all doom and gloom in Wick, it has its good points but some just "forget" about that!!!

I would say it is a resonable safe place to bring up children. Its got beautiful views, has great places to go walks.

It is'nt to busy like shops and things you can walk down the street without being squashed by hoards of people coming towards you.

People are friendly!

The air polution is low.

The congestion is next to nothing unless at five o clock you are all stuck at the roundabout waiting to see whos going to go next

Crime rate is low. Im talking petty things we have but major crime ..guns, knives, we are much better off than south.

The locals are friendly ..........well most of them.

We have all amenities to hand and a day trip south for anything else thus giving us a nice day out.

OOOh and we live in an area surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery.

Yeah, it's so good that you choose just to live a little south of it

They have a roundabout in Wick? Do you mean there's a white blob painted in the middle of the road?

Eh..we may have a round-a-bout or two...but no in Wick knows how to use them properly, they blankly stare at the car to their left wondering if they're going to bloody well get a move on

How true you speak! Roundabout at Wick seems to confuse most of the drivers. God help us if they put one in Thurso at the station junction,if the Mart site ever gets developed.
