That's news to me. What are they gonna do Arnish erect more signs, and spend a fortune on a survey to see if it is viable or not. Then have a few meetings, wait to see what the general concencus is and then do the opposite of what everyone wants. Well it isn't their money their spending is it?

Hullo everybody: just wanted to let you know that an extensive travel article on Harrris & Lewis made it in the Washington Post's Sunday 12th. edition. Accessible on the internet. More Americans your way, I suspect...

I don't think the schoolchildren should be crossing at more than 20 mph. They should save their enrgy for sports day and the 2012 olympics

Ye Gods! Whatever happened to the English language? Is texting taking over the world? I'd be curious to see a Burns ode in this new language....

jas: Was that English Burns wrote in? The first time I gave my younger daughter a book of poems by Burns to read, she burst out laughing at the incomprehensibility of it all: but she persisted, with the help of a university edition containing explanation of some of the more recondite terms. I must admit that I need all the help I can get myself ...

mjc: As a lowland Scot myself I do have to 'fess up and say that there are times I do need to stop and think about what he has written to get the gist of it. Burns was best known for writing in Scots dialect, however he did write over a hundred poems in standard English. There is a little book available called 'The English Poetry of Robert Burns' compiled by Eileen Doris Bremner.

Arnish: double whammy. First Mental Monkey, then Susan from England (who added "Eh?" to Mental's ,,,). How about a contribution Rick from Point - to help us all re-calibrate? # Jas: thanks for book info.

I have been in Lewis since late 2004 and am observing life on this fascinating island from an outsider's perspective. I look out at the lighthouse every day - as it looks out over the island and the sea.
