Plans for lord street

[Andy Onchan]

I haven't been down Lord Street end of town since just after the new year.... has there been any formal cutting of the sod (or concrete) on the site yet, or not? I think I know what the answer will be but thought I'd go out for clarification in case I missed it.

just after they complete the 31 weeks of roadworks in the area.... To ensure disruption is maximised.

Well we all know what will happen now. Just as the Covid restrictions are lifted and those poor prom traders have had no business or trade for about 6 months and are right in the bones of their arses financially on the following Monday morning those fuckwitts will roll up and close the road outside their shops for another year while the prom works continue. You literally couldn't make it up.

Thanks. I wonder what the rate on the coincidence-ometer is with that and the much heralded return to work of the construction industry?!

in answer to my own question:

 

early next year and open August 2021 

Inevitably delayed a few months

A few years!

I tend to find that only the lazy or trolls get hung up on punctuation on forums.

I tend to find that people with an education know when to comment. Sadly you seem to lack an education

On what basis would anyone make that assumption? I imagine you’re on your second bottle of wine just lashing out at society for even existing.

Now where has that accusation been levied before? Never takes long for “newbies” to out themselves..

Has it? Then maybe the public generally registers the same feedback when trolls try to solicit over the top responses from posters on an online forum?
