Letters / Won’t hold my breath

In response to Viking wind farm not before 2018 (SN, 18 Feb 13) I would like to share an extract from the minutes of a meeting of the Shetland Charitable Trust held on 8 December 2008 when a presentation was given on Viking Energy.
 
“The Project Manager (A. Priest) advised that, as far as he understood from SHETL, there was no delay to the tender process on the cable and that their expectation appeared to be that tenders would be assessed early next year”.

 
Hey ho, I hope Mr Bryce won’t be offended if I do not hold  my breath!
