Dave Hedgehog Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Does that include the skanky sticky mess that the beer tent leaves behind or is that extra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first glance it does seem a lot, but when you consider that most of them worked extra hours, weekends, and public holidays over the period then overtime payments would boost the normal payrate. Then add on the extra cost of disposing of the rubbish - more trips for the rubbish carts whose crews where probably also on overtime. And if the corpy recharged this to central government then I assume it wouldn't be done at cost. It all starts to build up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesultanofsheight Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 http://www.gov.im/lib/news/tourism/ttentertainment2.xml I should look into being a road sweeper! Forty grand? I could believe that. In fact I could probably guess which councillor has the contract to do some of the clean up at that sort of price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that it's covered by the exorbitant rent Bushy's is charged for using the car park in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cret Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 No, 40 grand really IS a lot! It might be explainable gazza but that doesn't make it not a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarbunny Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 And last, but not least, I would like to thank Norton Racing for putting on the TT firework display. I guess that explains that then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind the fact that the road sweepers work a fixed daily shift pattern anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and those Continental GT's they drive with the spinning brushes underneath must cost a few quid to run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
