Orkney Fudge
It has never been my practice to respond to letters sent to newspapers, or other media, but I feel that on this occasion I really must.
Councillor Wills makes reference to “a convenient untruth” (SN, 29 Sep 12) in a deal “brokered by our recently departed redeemer” topped up with “a large dollop of Orkney Fudge”.
Leaving aside Mr Wills’ apparently absolute certainty that a legal opinion, paid for by the SIC and Shetland Charitable Trust, is correct, and that the QC employed by them to prepare this opinion “knows more about these matters than anyone else.”; which is an amazingly broad assumption given that this has not been tested in Court and so remains merely a matter of opinion; Mr Wills’ apparently derogatory reference to Orkney Fudge seems strange, to say the least.
Orkney Fudge has been produced in Stromness for more than 65 years, and is world-renowned, and sought after, for its quality. For example, NorthLink’s restaurants charge a 70 per cent premium for Orkney Fudge Cheesecake over their least expensive dessert, which happens to be Orkney Ice Cream.
Mr Wills also makes reference to “gold stars stuck on some people’s CVs”. Am I not correct in thinking that a CV is used by job-hunters, and not by people who already have firmly established career paths?
