"Sheriff Anderson said: "I regret having to express condemnation of Norman Dickson's truthfulness, but his answers were frequently at odds with other evidence.

"Indeed, if it were not so serious, some of his attempts at answers would be laughable.

"I was left with a distinct impression that as far as Mr Dickson is concerned the truth is what he says it is at any given moment, and because that's what he wants it to be, rather than because it is actually true."

Oh dear !!

The garage is empty of cars now and they have started dismantling the pumps.

I heard ages ago that they sold the site to Aldi for £m's. Good know why Dunblane (small town really) needs another supermarket alongside the big tesco we've got!

Dickson of Dunblane was also crap for very high fuel prices.

They have taken up residence on the Dunkeld Road in Perth... Right next door to the Jaguar Garage, all the cars are sitting there and a portacabin is there as an 'office' just now. Only happened over the past few days too.


Cheers,
Grant

Does that mean nowhere in Dunblane now sells petrol? Nearest Balhaldie or Causewayhead?

Yep - nothing in Dunblane now.

Tesco in Stirling sells Tesco 99 though - which is good news.
