Hmmm, slightly telling that the Sponsor's MoM, Fatah, came on to the park as subby in the 77th minute. I felt sorry for Luca who took a bit of a kicking today. ☹️

Thanks, I'll hopefully get across there later this year to see them. They're never stuck for work, there is almost full employment there. It's accommodation for folk that want to live & work there that is the big issue.

Agreed, I'll need to look up which local authorities have implemented it. They actually got the house at a reduced price as the owner was in a hurry to sell. They were surprised at this having been outbid on previous attempts to buy.

at a reduced price due to the owner being in a hurry to sell. The imposition of the new tax certainly seems to have detered prospective second home owners. Their new home is on the west side of Lewis so is perhaps not a hot spot for second homes. They get on fine with the locals.

They originally fancied living on Skye but due to Air bnbs etc it was just impossible to get anything they could afford. They did get a rental on Lewis for about 20 months before having a bid on accepted on a holiday home, it lay empty when the owner wasn't there. They actually got it at a ....

I was thinking about an each-way bet on Aberg as well but the bookies in Monifieth insisted that I placed the bet via some sort of puggy machine I couldn't understand. Nope, not going to do that sh*t. 😒

Just don't go, the best us Europeans can do is vote with our feet & don't visit the USA in these turbulent times. I am not confident that the upcoming mid-terms can stop Donald John's mission to wreck democracy in the good 'ole US of A. 😒

My niece moved to the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides 3 years ago. She had to rent because she couldn't afford to buy due to cash rich Southerners buying up houses that came to market. The Scottish Government bought in a 200% increase on Council Tax on 2nd homes. They now own an ex-holiday home!
