This echo chamber of lies. I stick with it because of the good people I like and learn from. It's a shrinking pool. I'm not interested in the know-it-alls (who don't) and spewing bots of disinformation... Dark clouds linger, elsewhere the sky is blue...

@KG_Jura Kyle of Localsh to Kyleakin was 1995 after the bridge, but that's an outlier. There was a ferry from Mallaig that took in various places in Skye plus Glenelg, Kyle and Applecross. That finished in the 70s with just Mallaig-Armadale left.

@Dr_W_E_Bulmer By the time youโ€™ve converted a normal shed to have decent lighting, wired up, insulated and fully water tight, plus fitted out the inside to feel like a room (time and materials etc), those ready made ones will look much better value!

@wodieskodie Our local couriers in Skye are pretty good and deliver for everyone else. The problem is Evri have been trying to screw them over so no one will deliver for them. Itโ€™s entirely down to Evriโ€™s greed and incompetence

@jamiemchale All Scottish railways (ScotRail and Caledonian Sleeper) are publicly owned. LNER is public too, typo in my last reply, sorry. Only Avanti is private, but they operate primarily in England. So very minimal addition to our ownership.

@jamiemchale Much of the English network is privately owned some of it (e.g. LNER) is public as is all of Wales, Scotland & NI. Infrastructure is all public
