The blog formerly known as "Angus Nicolson - an incredulous eye on the isles" this was the blog of an ordinary, boring, former Councillor in the Western Isles of Scotland.
Angus is taking a sabbatical to be with his young family
Debate strengthens democracy, except inside the SNP, as he has discovered. If you want balance then get some scales. This is opinion - our opinion.

Small Business Rates
They don't (all) have it in for me in the Council.
The revised notice came through yesterday with the 80% rates relief, but we have already paid 50% to account with the first monthly direct debit.
Hi Angus, Take a (payment) holiday or ask them for the money back, or if they keep it can you have the interest that their exchequer dept will earn on it?! {;-))
The joys of direct debits! I always pay my rates/council tax/poll tax (or whatever the current name is) one month in arrears. That way at least I get a feeling they've worked for their money. {;-)
Q. How come the SNP didn't know north sea oil was running out?
ReplyDeleteA. The dipsticks were in London!

Did you hear Mr Haggas is funding the Harris Tweed film being shot up here? Director is Peter Richardson, he of Comic Book Presents fame.
