Wonderful film of three old biddies doing the Llandudno iom ferry service. I’d embed but no idea how or this forum ain’t the easiest to attach links. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b04mpdqt/holiday-of-my-lifetime-with-len-goodman-series-1-1-dave-myers May have to sign in to view.

P.K. Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Face it, whatever they come up with can't possibly be worse than the current set up which seems to be deliberately arranged to make a miserable experience as bad as possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asitis Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I still think the deal doesn't add up and stuff like this appearing in the timeframe makes me even more suspicious of the indecent haste in which the company allegedly had to get the deal done ! The taxpayers are in for a terrible gouging imo ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wright Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Is it a bombshell? Didn’t we know this was happening? It’s not linked to the share purchase in any way, shape or form. Good news, SeaCat to Heysham is an hour less than to Pierhead, so can cross even faster, up to 3 returns per day. Joking apart it means that the impetus will be on for two multipurpose RoPax.

And we got stuff like chilli these days to put into the stewed cabbage and potatoes. Healthy food, healthy social life, away from the pub. Win win win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, Impetus, Speed, Time and Essence aren’t something that IOMG are familiar with. I would imagine LCC are fed up with IOMG procrastinating so are forcing this issue. More additional costs to IOMG. Fiasco! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats it got to do with LCC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Hey, you can smoke on the Seacat again! When did they lift that stupid restriction? Great stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee Cee Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 As always, the poor old Ben-My-Chree has come in for a lot of criticism in this thread. The Commodore Clipper is very similar to the Ben. Does anyone know if she is having similar difficulties? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
