Cagerf Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Spent some tome in perth last week rather than just the usual, for me, going to McDiarmid for a game then home again.

The proposed new Sainsburys on the Crieff Road near Glovers Arms ain't going ahead.  Got pissed off by Tesco's objections and the proposed new road structure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
