Any opinions?

[Bobbie En Tejas]

Yes.

[EMDEE]

And?

[Ship called Dignity]

Yes.

Killed that one dead, eh?

I'm sure not the kind of press that Oban will want but no doubt it will give people a kick up the erse to do something about it. And no doubt funding will be found from nowhere.

Having lived here for 6 years, you can see that a lot of the "heid yins" up here are none too pleased.
They are a self promoting, insular lot, am glad that someone from outside has spoken up and told everyone
just how things are. A sharp lesson in reality.

We visited Oban for the first time last year, and I was soooo disappointed, it looked so lovely in the brochures (yes, I know, everywhere does!) but it was such a let down when we got there that we didn`t stay very long. I wouldn`t go quite so far as to describe it as Third World though.

A few years ago I overheard some yatters complaining that there were no showers on the pier in the wee toon, dont know if there is now or maybe they are welcome to use the showers in the swimming pool, does anyone know?

[Mr.Everready]

There was a specific area for the yaughters to use in the swimming pool I believe.

I don't think the communal showers beside the pool would be ideal for a full shower after being at sea for days on end.

Here's me thinking that was the smell from the outfall (just kidding)

A Laundrette is also something that the yachters ask for so hopefully the one now in place of the Davaar bar will fill that gap.
