Where is this ?
I am on holiday trip with 2 of my kids. Not so much to do with Ribbing(at least so far) but but needless to say spotted rather soon a few on trailer. Any guesses where we are? Location is EU area but still kind of remote.....

Right You are, its not UK, but a island though. Wave breakers are pretty solid, so heavy seas
might occur from time to time.

They are. I'd keep an eye on Shetland though IIWY!
More seriously, I had considered Shetland/Faroes, etc but couldn't imagine that someone would bring their children to Shetland on holidays. It would suit a penal colony though...
Hey there's a thought! If EVERYONE sent ALL their children to Shetland.

No, I haven't been there. I do, however, like to keep tabs on where all my ribnetters go on holidays, so I checked your browser cookies for airline bookings

G'wan ya sore loser - the building on the right was pure Shetland, had ya fooled for sure. What ruled out Shetland for me was the absence of ugly fat burds, skinheids, closed restaurants and "Do not" signs.
