Letters / They just can’t win

Solutions sought after people were unable to use public bus ‘full of tourists’ when cruise was in town

First they were clogging buses and now they’re clogging the roads. They just can’t win.

Shetland could become the Galapagos of the North Sea. Instead of Komodo dragons we have fire breathing Vikings.
