Re: Scottish Hydro prices

Thanks Jim for the update. Just in case there is anyone else going through the tortuous process of trying to fix a tariff I will bring up to date my own experience. After numerous phone calls and some filling in of web forms I received a welcome pack from Scottish Hydro and a contract showing the un...

Re: Leslie Riddoch - Blossom - is at 7.30pm on Wednesday

I agree with most of Jimcee’s points as well as supporting Longshanks’s suggestion but I would hesitate to voice any criticism of those who run the forum as I know that dissent here can invoke punishment. I feel I must defend Lesley Riddoch from the suggestion that her book lends support to the yes ...
