Improvement Grant

I'm confused :?

Where is our all-singing, all-dancing £600 notice board? Haven't they found an expensive enough joiner yet?

Or am I being naive again?

Broadband for Seil and Easdale

Well, Nick - You know where NOT to put your X next time round. I admit that I am not only bitterly disappointed with our RFS date, I am just a wee bit FURIOUS :evil: After all the work Pat put in with her mailshots and my wee effort with my leaflets in Balvicar PO I think we had all expected a bette...

Group to establish better waste recycling facilities

:idea: It would be a very good idea, but why don't our council do what others have done? My sister, in Glasgow, now has two wheely bins, one for ordinary waste and the other for recyclable materials. Each one gets emptied, alternately, once a fortnight. The big surprise was that the "Recycle&qu...

Well, this IS BT we are having to deal with! :roll:

Their management, etc... are all too busy spending their big bonuses to worry about our impatience :twisted:

We will just have to live in the vain hope that the date will be brought forward - it has happened before. :wink:

Local Plan

In the entire history of the world no local government has ever said or written anything that ordinary mortals might be remotely able to understand. If we could, they and their cohorts would not be able to ride roughshod over our frightened, quivering bodies and, more importantly, wallets and feelin...

Only got myself to blame, but it hadn't penetrated before now :shock: In Pat's words £600 for a notice board? Wowee! . :? Just exactly how many Bells and Whistles does this confection of £600 worth of joinery/glazing offer us? :? And, NO, I didn't have any ideas to offer but I'm sure that amount of ...

Hi all, Like Nick, I dumped BT Openworld when they threw us the 150 hours per month limit curve as well!! At the time I was still doing my freelance MS Access development work and that time limit made receiving and transferring large files with clients a very expensive option. Since moving over to F...

I've been hearing that some people have had difficulty registering, especially on the BT site. One of the easiest sites is "Samknows" where the registration form is easily accessed by clicking on the menu item on the top left of the page. This site is also very informative about the status...

At least those people did register, but it was probably with more than one Broadband provider. I had foreseen a few duplicates - so many providers are offering such good deals that people want to be registered with them for when the system is available. You can bet that they will be inundating us wi...

Wonderful - only 19 more to go. :lol:

Was that a bit of a jump, or am I having what my son and daughter affectionately call a "Senior Moment" :?: and missed a few.

Postal Services on Seil

I've had both outgoing and incoming mail disappear into the void. My poor son got a bit of a nagging when I didn't get a birthday card last month. It turns out he did send me one, and my daughter confirmed it as it was she who actually posted it when she sent hers, (this from Bristol) A package with...

The registration figures do seem only to be creeping up, don't they? It was me who placed leaflets in Balvicar PO and I am going to have to print off some more as they are moving very well - so where are the people who took them? I am sure quite a few more than is being accounted for must have regis...
