Bigbob Posted July 24, 2023 Report Share Posted July 24, 2023 Had a free day today so we took a run up to Oban 3 hours each way to get a fresh fish supper LOL i fancied some more fresh sea produce but it seemed rather expensive but there was a lovely big Oxfam shop and i got all there shooting and hunting books , but the biggest shock was fuel is 5 pence a litre cheaper up there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And an excellent fish supper it is, too 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
