  1. Indeed it is. Is the LCY route still being subsidised?
  2. It's relatively green compared to others: https://grid.iamkate.com/
  3. I've always thought that LCY is/was a luxury, a nice to have and I know that the City is important to us but consolidating all traffic to one London airport shirley makes sense?
  4. Indeed. Tynwald should set up a committee to look to see if they can make airlines accountable to CURA!
  5. Financially we have no choice, it has to be the connector with gas backup. Gas will still be required for a long time anyway for legacy reasons. In reality I suspect that MUA know and prefer this arrangement.
  6. That's insurance and insurance doesn't come cheap either.
  7. The cheapest has to be the interconnector running into tens of millions rather than hundreds of millions for any of the other options, with the gas turbine as emergency backup?
  8. BBC News - DFDS to bid for Channel Islands ferry contracts https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-guernsey-68105570
  9. It'll be interesting to see/hear how she squares that one away. She can't of course.
  10. I thought that had been stemmed due to more favourable terms towards the end of last year?
  11. The words "fiddling, Rome, burns" spring to mind.
  12. Who on here believes that the wind turbines at Earystane and the commissioning of up to 10MW of solar panels deployed across public estate (including both buildings and car parks) will actually happen?
  13. Mangetout, Rodders!
  14. Aren't they buying in ovens to just bake par-baked frozen bread products?
  15. The problem is, that despite the new Agreement in place when it changed hands, Tynwald want something to do with it by setting up a committee. I said in the early days that IOMSPCo will be used as a political football and this is turning out to be true.
  16. Once you've gone past the original purpose for manufacture and use, ie carbon reduction then virtually anything you do to it (once it outlives it's usefulness) creates even more carbon. It's a circle that's very difficult to break.
  17. Can't make up my mind if you're the Righteous Delia or the Blessed Mary! 😂
  18. https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/employers-owe-almost-1m-national-insurance/
  19. In 2/3 years time there'll be a completely different pricing structure for virtually all items, so that the offering will be the equivalent of an Express outlet.
  20. He likes the sound of his own voice, that much I do know.
  21. I assumed the word demand = more patients, as opposed to additional non-care costs.
  22. I'm still of the opinion that all nine ex Shoprite stores will be under the Express brand.
