Amazon expansion in Fife

[MrGrumpy]

Looks like (unless I misheard) that Amazon are taking over the big white Elephant that was Hyundia (Dunfermline) and more recently Motorola even though they never moved in. Its a massive warehouse, I mean huge! Apparently a colleague of mine who worked at Motorola has said that inside they built huge massive concrete slabs on cushions to minimise vibration when they were gonna stamp out the wafers.

I heard somebody was moving in and they've go permission to knock most of it down and build something that suits their needs.

In the press today!

lol at Tunnocks, I think they must be using the Hyundia site, there is nowhere else with access as well. Read some of the comments on the Dunfermline Press site and agree with the Postie about Dunfermline DO, its absolutly out the box right now with Amazon packets.

Sandpiper Drive runs round the Hyundie site but it interesting the press don't mention it; could it perhaps be a site to the south of the building. OT - Dunfermline post messed up a fair bit; I don't know the full story but it seems the implemented a new system just before Christmas. My mum ordered me some bib shorts for Christmas, they arrived by royal mail last Friday!

 

[MrGrumpy]

aye some clown at the DO decided to implement a revision at Xmas!!! Apparently it was implemented to cope with the packets !! No working whatever it is.

Is it? The whole operation will probably be run by three workers and a computer. Dunfermline will just get the traffic.
