hissingsid Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 It was stresses, several times, Mannin Line today that Manx Radio, by Andy Wint , was not publicity funded it just got a contribution of 35p in the pound of annual turnover from the Government the rest was made up of advertising revenue. I really cannot see this after listening to the same adverts all the time which means the advertisers are on one of the special deals, of which there are plenty, it does not make sense.

How long do you need it to last? Most of the creamery milk must last long enough to drink it? Who on earth buys a pint of milk and it actually goes off before you drink it?

TheTeapot Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 There should be no reason at all to buy milk from the UK. If you don't want milk from the creamery for 'reasons' you can get it from Aalin Dairy down north or Cooil bros south. Piss off with your cravenadle or whatever crap it is. Manx milk from manx cows for manx people. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also made a couple of odd statements relating to the Peter's affair, today - A. "That issue" is currently being dealt with by the Communications Commission - there seems to be a bit of doubt about that. B. "Any comment may prejudice the outcome" - prejudice in the context of legal proceedings relate to prejudicing the jury as the "professionals" are above being swayed by anything but the law and facts. (That was quite a point of debate when I was a law student.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite few have queried exactly whose investigation is underway, Quirkio having said he received a letter from the CC saying they were not investigating. It's not a big deal, but rather pointing out that there isn't a clear message on this from Douglas Head and/or Mr Wint tends to "wing it". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever happened to buy local and save jobs.? The fact that they have totally fucked up the recycling of their very green cartons is another matter. However a local firm has made thousands out of this situation. So wrong. I binned about 200 empty cartons today that we had saved up, because they could not be recycled. However their milk is 100% .

I offered two local alternatives to the main creamery, a pretty sensible thing I'd have thought. We're going to be stuck, isolated to a degree from the rest of the world for a while, shop local. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
