  1. Where’s the salesman sitting?
  2. Great tune mark, morello is a terrific guitar player, not much of a singer really, bit like Springsteen himself! Springsteen’s songwriting, guitar playing and band leading made him what he is.
  3. The figures speak for themselves, although they don’t spell out the importance to the communities concerned which have been kept alive and relevant by young folk being able to continue living and working there, keeping schools, shops, post offices open, and many other occupations not directly linked to the industry. I’m not trying to pick a fight muldonach, I’m just saying what I see and believe. Yes, overfishing of salmon ( which I was employed in as a schoolboy, bagnets) and certainly fish farming have had devastating effects. But, we all need to work and contribute in the area in which we live. Move forward and improve our ways.
  4. Yup, the same principle should apply to every “dirty” industry, no doubt about that. Fish farming will continue as it is, it’s too valuable not to, yes they will try and clean it up, even the the measures for treatments etc creates hundreds of jobs. My objection was to the suggestion it shouldn’t be happening because a few toffs weren’t coming on holiday. I don’t have figures, but living and working here I can see the massive difference the industry has made to people and the economy of this area in the last 30 yrs.
  5. Toxic is toxic bikeguy! Whether that be a vehicle or a fish farm, employment and economics are fairly important, maybe even as important as us all having a vehicle? Infact.....
  6. Why didn’t I take a look at this thread before?? Absolute class! Love it! Mr Js reputation going down the pan ??.. brilliant. I’m now going to sit back and wait for that to happen.... ..I’ll probably not hold my breath mind!
  7. Does air source still attract grant money? If it does it’s probably not very economical.
  8. Why are the extra 1050 on the street not using food banks, are they too rich for that?
  9. I’m not the one worrying about my footprint,"
  10. Well, I rest my case, you are both probably every bit as much contributing as much of a carbon footprint percentage wise as fish farms. Have a wee look at what your doing yourselves lads, then ask yourself some serious questions before you start slagging off people providing employment in areas that you think are “nice”! Real people live there and need work.
  11. I feel fine about English people living and working here matty, I’ve made no secret of that in the past on here. How do your trucks affect the environment since that’s your concern?
  12. Aye it’s true that salmon farming like many other large industries that employ thousands and thousands of people have an impact on the environment, as do shooting estates, many of which are not Scottish owned! The west coast is probably at a record high tourist wise. Do either of you own a car?
  13. Are you saying you don’t understand the difference between farming and hunting?
  14. West of Scotland would be a much poorer place without the thousands of jobs created by fish farming and directly related industries.
  15. Do it if that is what floats your boat, don’t plaster it all over social media, unless you crave publicity, which is the case here.
  16. Merry Christmas lads, all the very best.
  17. It’s Christmas and we’re talking about flushable wipes? Ffs
  18. Yup, another one gone, and like the rest of us he will completely forgotten within a couple of generations! Tell me Eggs, what’s it all about this life we get?[emoji2]
