Would we notice a difference? Letters are 5 days per week parcels are delivered 6 days per week, papers 7 days per week. It’s only the Saturday day overnight boat that doesn’t bring mail.

Andy Onchan Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I'm on the MXM now and about an hour or so out of Heysham. Blackpool Tower clearly visible. The 09:15 departure has been known for at least a week to me when I started looking at options. Tomorrow's (Friday) departure ex Douglas is fully booked for vehicles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised at this considering the exchanges in Tynwald and posts on here concerning the severe speed restrictions in force. Maybe nobody told the geezer that was driving last night. Or maybe you get dispensation if you're taking her to the vets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why leave at 17.38 and then spend the night doing figures of 8 off the Mersey Bar? 18 hours that trip took. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Buggane Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Another Manxman technical difficulty(break down) delays overnight sailing from Heysham, what size a white elephant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst the Ben that can only limp along was up to 18 knts on route to Liverpool. What is the truth, I think the steamy are knee deep in bull shit.

It’s delayed by 75 minutes hardly a major catastrophe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
