I searched under Liverpool and there were pages on pages of nothing to do with LPL at all so gave up. I did search Isle of Man but returned zero. Strange.

They may be an America parent but the staff are definitely British. They took over a British consultancy. I think it was Faber mauncell but I'll check.

Frances Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 17.56 is 25mins late on expected timings assuming the 14:45 departure time is correct - they haven't really had enough time to practise berthing in all states of the tide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One wonders if they'll be defending themselves against any claim in the near future from our Govt...? It's surprising the number of bodies who don't want to be associated with online searches with things involving our Govt.....Vision 9, Kathryn Magson...

2112 Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Many posters were correct, IOMG have a piece in Facebook with Tim Crookall pictured with Peel Group representative and local dignitaries. Rather sickening, considering how much it has cost the Manx taxpayers countless £millions, and perhaps we will never know the true cost? There shouldn’t have been dick waving and grandstanding, it should have opened for this mornings 11.15 sailing, without fanfare and ceremony. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To put the financing of the new terminal in a bit of perspective, in Northern Ireland, the government admitted yesterday that they have spent £110+million on the A5 road upgrade since 2007. The only minor problem being, not a sod has been turned nor one centimetre of tarmac laid!!! Absolutely nothing. Beat that Tynwald.
