I hope so as well John as it's many a day since the late Alex Norquoy was standing on the pier with some men and the rumour was it was guys from Shell. Like so many times it was false hope for the folk o' the island.
Wonder what came of Ross Deptec from Stonehaven, thought they were coming to Lyness a few years ago?
