Esp with the Florida registration number on the tube.........you have to wonder who hands over the money when it's this obvious, but also, this has to be traceable........probably to Nigeria.

I've approached a few before "selling" from here and Shetland - they just go hide when you ask. Also lots of people buying puppies online from "Orkney" then calling the airport to ask if they've been shipped yet - and then finding that they've been scammed too.

Ebay are pretty good at taking they off as soon as I report.

Mind you I do know of one palm tree in Orkney.

I thought there were palm trees in the walled gardens in Balfour Castle on Shapinsay?

ALANT · 27 October 2012, 18:22

There could be Palms in Orkney, but the adverts have all disappeared

Shame I could have done with a cheap engine

Hi there - Could well be - trying to remember now. And people think we don't have trees :o)

Copinsay · 27 October 2012, 21:09

Mind you... it is dark when we have the Northern Lights...

ALANT · 28 October 2012, 07:18

Ok just jealous as I haven't been able to get up for a while

Copinsay · 28 October 2012, 10:09

Only teasing Alan - we can have a week of greyness in winter :o)

Anyway, lovely where you are - I did my PB2 at Findhorn. and liked it very much. I was thinking fun to bring the boat down and do some on the Moray Firth - maybe we'll just swap places!

Cheers, Steve
