[Scarlet Pimple]

Whee! IHE is back.

So it'[s not a toy shop or a tea shop?

[Charles Bannerman]

It rather reminds me of what Boots the chemist used to look like before they did it up in the early 60s but on the other hand it does look more like a bookshop.

Not as much as that  £3 per week for 40 hours in WM Low Supermarket in 1972 ( a pittance) went up to £5 after a year, only stayed there 18 months.

The Luftwaffe view of Sneck

​Interesting that there only seem to be two areas within Inverness that the Luftwaffe thought it needed to bomb - the Longman Airfield and the Merkinch!

Presumably the German thinking was that, come D Day, there would be far less chance of it succeeding if they could get rid of the boys from the Ferry first!
