Serco Northlink Ferries

At last, at long, long last it has been announced that people travelling on Serco Northlink Ferries between Shetland, Orkney and Aberdeen in Scotland, no longer need to provide photographic ID to allow them to get on board the ferry that they have bought the ticket for.

It was farcical in the first place. You don't need ID to get a taxi and you don't need ID to get on the bus (just yet) so what justified the demand for ID to get on a ferry that never leaves the country that we live in, in the first place? Sorry, I cannot work out what goes behind it - other than the stupidity and big-headedness that goes with the company running the ferries, of course!!!

In a couple of days I hope to be on the bus into Lerwick, the only real town in Shetland. If they demand any ID other than my bus pass then I'll let you know.

It's been confirmed

Jings, it has been confirmed. I am I am inherently stupid. I wanted a greenhouse but because of the weather up here in Shetland, you need to be quite careful.

I spotted a tiny one that I could fix to the house wall at a good price and that really took me so I promptly ordered - a spare cover for it. It was delivered today. Jings, crivens, I can be useless without trying.

The wee greenhouse will hopefully get here before winter. :(

And if it does, then I will promptly put a smile on my face, put the greenhouse up and hopefully get some plants to grow.

And keep me happy ;))
