A DUNFERMLINE business has had to adapt to survive as the coronavirus pandemic continues to take its toll. Play Planet had only been open for four months before the outbreak forced the soft play centre to close. The venue opened at Queen Anne Street in December 2019 - above The Ball Room pool and snooker hall - and had enjoyed a positive start prior to all indoor soft play businesses having to temporarily close on March 23. Lauren Baillie, its general manager, told the Press this week that the past year has been incredibly difficult for both her and the business, with Lauren having to seek other work to make ends meet.
Don t miss tomorrow s Press as we bring you everything from Barney the whale and Spider-Man to a Kelty rum with the spirit of Barbados and the visit of Buffalo Bill to a horseracing track in Dunfermline. We ve got tributes to Craig Hardie, the cycling champ who lost his battle with cancer at the age of 50, the latest in the fight against Covid as vaccinations in Fife pass the 100,000 mark and a council tax freeze. There are also the residents worried about pier pressure in North Queensferry, the latest on the move to put CCTV in the Glen and the Kelty kids - and their mums - who are 100 miles better.
We ve put together a list of 22 things that make you a Herefordian. Let us know in the comments if we ve missed any. 1. If something’s really good you say, it’s mazin’ or tidy. 2. You’ve hit at least one pot hole in the last week. 3. You have to utter the phrase: “No not near London, that’s Hertfordshire”, on a regular basis. 4. Ironically, despite living in a predominantly rural region, you’ve said something about the traffic in Hereford at least once today and it takes you 30 minutes to drive two miles across the city. And you can talk to a taxi driver for an hour without drawing breath on the reasons why Hereford needs a bypass.
