Non-Believer Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 And not just an airline - a UK airport to go with it too. The Full Ensemble. Now with the current costs of the Liverpool Ferry Terminal what sort of money do we think we could sink into a UK Airport? Answers on a postcard to A. Reynolds please. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the one hand I like that he’s one of the few candidates to put forward ideas on how to deal with the problems he mentions. On the other hand nearly all his ideas are completely batshit mental.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is enough brewing expertise on the Island already, there is no mass market for Belgium type beers on the IoM most Manx struggle to drink Ales at 5% never mind 7% and above 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why there is no mass market on the IOM (or the UK, not even Belgium) . It’s a limited market. Any country can produce super strength beer ( Carling Export anyone?) but it has to taste nice. Its like those who want to order the strongest curry to impress their mates even though they don’t really enjoy them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
