the stinking enigma Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Ah the queens pier approach. We sort of half preserve heritage. Blow millions on horse trams/steam trains and what have you but then won't spend small millions preserving other heritage sites. It's all a bit half arsed really.

hissingsid Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 Lots of people enjoy the horse trams and steam trains, even travel to the Island to go on the electric trams and trains I don't see many people traveling over to see an awld water wheel.

2112 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 On a tangent but relating to Beach Buddies . This article in The Nations Mouthpiece and Government propaganda outlet about Bill Dale protesting against the Japanese resuming commercial whaling. https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/beach-buddies-protests-whaling-in-japan/ Personally speaking I agree with his sentiments entirely and there is no need for whale hunting. However the subject of boycotting Japanese bike teams at TT was raised by Bill Dale. Unfortunately this is a non starter, too many vested interests as far as the beloved TT is concerned. Skelly and the Starship Enterprise love Oriental businesses and people too much - so will happily accept their customs and practices (however repulsive and immoral) in persuit of the golden egg. Still no such with the fabled six Banks. We do have a External Relations Advisor to swan around the globe and hold Howard’s hand - the mind boggles I know! Perhaps it would be advisable for HRH The Chief Minister to go for regular swims in Douglas Bay, with the hope that Commercial Japanese Whalers mistake him for a small whale!

paswt Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Took a walk down Groudle Glen yesterday followed by a ride on the train , have to say that I was impressed by the numbers of folk taking the train and the enthusiasm of the volunteers running the trains and providing free tea/coffee and mince pies for those attending . If you took a train ride a voucher was included for a free ride for a family of four (2 adults , 2 children) next season! Also have to compliment whoever reinstated the path through the glen , excellent job . With all this talk of renewable energy there is surely an opportunity for someone to reinstate the wheel , pretty small beer when you consider what the GGR have achieved . Just saying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
