True.

Have you been on it?  Last time I went, it was still the ferry.

Yes, I used it not long after it first opened in 1995. 

[Simon]

That makes it at least fifteen years since I went!

is it pricey? actually wikipedia suggests it is.

Def not remote - forming part of the A87 just makes it sound like any other place

[Rik]

It's free now, Sam.

We almost bumped into each other Simon!

Now, on ferries, that can be very nasty...

We were in a hired Ford Granada Scorpio, and halfway through the week, the exhaust fell off!   Fortunately, there was a Ford dealer in Portree who welded it back together for us, otherwise it would have been a very noisy ride home!

Scottish garages are good at fixing things, aren't they. You're much less likely to get a 'we need to order it' from them.

[Simon]

Indeed.  They only charged us a tenner, as well!

According to the AA, I had a big end failure (no, the car) many years ago. I limped down the road to the local garage, and he diagnosed a faulty alternator, changed it and my problem was solved.

That sounds like my recent big end problem, which turned put to be a cam pulley.
