Yet again the North East of Scotland is where its all happening. Notwithstanding the feral bull episode or the lost whale washed up on Balmedie beach, it seems that the forces of nature are now joining in with the efforts of Donald Trump in ruining Aberdeenshire's tourist industry.
Anyone over the age of 35 will remember the iconic film 'local hero'. You know the one with the red telephone on the harbour scene? Well it seems that the village this was filmed isn't handling its fame very well... following bouts of depression, not taking care of itself and being over run with tourists, the village of Pennan is now splitting at the seams.
Recent concerns about the cliffs overhanging the village have begun to rupture, threatening to destroy the village below but the local authority is urging people not to panic as they have the situation in hand. Their plan is to bond the cracks in the rocks with 'nails'. Yes you read right - NAILS.
The idea is that long nails is all that is required to fix the rock problem. I'm actually surprised at this level of stupidity even from Aberdeenshire Council.. I mean, haven't they heard of 'Nomorenails'?
