Shetland and associated stuff

2 Conversations

Shetland is northerly, wet and WINDY in the winter and warm and WINDY in the summer.

The population is allegedly 22,500 give or take 100,000 sheep and 1,000 small shaggy ponies. The national sport is running over the former and the national income is selling the latter for about £2.00.

Life is tough, the people are tough (some are quite small and shaggy too), the fish are tough and so is the meat after you have run it over a few times. (Tip - do not try to run over Shetland cows - less fun and it hurts).

Oil has brought lots of lovely money which has been reinvested into the community - we have 11 indoor swimming pools and a huge empty leisure centre.

There are no trees, snakes, squirrels, foxes, badgers, trains, zoos, cinemas, M&S or Woolies.
