Remote Scottish Islands

[barrydidit]

This is the second article i've seen today which descibes Bute as a 'remote scottish island'. Certainly, it's like Craggy Island minus the cosmoplitan culture and welcome, but remote? It's a half hour ferry from the mainland! You could swim if you were that deparate. What's wrong with these feckers?

Syrian refugees resettled on remote Scottish island of Bute complain their new home is 'full of old people waiting to die'

FFS! We used to go to Bute for school trips. If they are complaining about Rothesay then send them to fooking Bridgeton. They will feel right at home!!

Don't think any of them know the words to 'The Sash' so Bridgeton is out.

It's remote in the sense that it's 90 mins from Glasgow, so, not that remote.

Still pretty remote from any sort of civilization though....

Is that some sort of test of civilisation?

So at least 3 hours from civilisation then...

Edit - someone got there before me. Bugger.

Woah just having a bit of light hearted fun...

Seems there were a few sense of humour failures on this thread.

Thankfully, no

We don't even have an 'in town' super store.

Seriously though, I personally know one of the guys in the story, the one who's meant to be suicidal. If the symptoms of suicidal are being out partying every weekend like a 16 year old who's just discovered cider, loud music and shagging, then he's suicidal.
