I bought the Manx Indy before and the Post Office contingency plans are explained in there. So I assumed the question had been answered. So why is he asking a question in Tynwald when he could just read the paper? The Chairman of the Post Office is his fellow constituency MHK and seemingly his arch nemesis Julie Edge. It is a bit like the time he asked about how much a 100g letter cost to send to various places in Europe because she had said in Tynwald that the Isle of Man Post Office had the cheapest postage in Europe rather than one of the cheapest. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok thanks I thought it was odd as there’s half a page in the Manx Indy explaining what the contingency plans are so I assumed the question had already been answered. Maybe he’s trying to save himself £1 by asking a question in Tynwald rather than buying a paper. Yes pathetic pointscoring I’m sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Down Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I get the feeling that RC loves seeing Edge squirm and vice versa. Oh for the day when some decent candidates show up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rushen Spy Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 The thread that just keeps on delivering. Rob Callister MHK, thank you, sir, for your unparalleled service to the Manx entertainment sector. Without you, all we'd have to talk about is dog sh!t. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declan Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Oh dear ... Personal Statement - Rob Callister, MHK (Onchan) On the Manx Radio Mandate Programme which went out live at 7.30am on Thursday 13th December 2018, the Chairman of the Post Office Julie Edge, MHK made a statement which gave the impression to the listening audience that I have either suggested or supported the introduction of a three-day postal service on the Isle of Man. I am not entirely sure where that suggestion has come from and I wish to categorically refute that statement made by the Chairman of the Post Office this morning, along with giving reassurance to Postal Workers on the Isle of Man that I am not aware of any discussions around a three-day postal service. I remain hopeful that the Chairman will correct that statement at her earliest opportunity..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's actually correct this time. If Ms Edge is trying to implicate him in something then why shouldn't he make a statement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Is he correct? Did you listen to mandate? I didn't, so don't know what was said, but it wouldn't be a surprise if "gave an impression" meant to him, and only him. He seems to strongly dislike Ms Edge, and gleefully takes any opportunity to attempt to put one over on her. Hence his amazing 'how much does it cost to send a letter' Tynwald question, which turned out to be some childish attempt at making her look bad rather than any attempt to do anything useful. It is entirely possible that Ms Edge deserves his scorn, I don't know, but blustering 'Public Statements' like this one plastered all over facebook is how I imagine the modern day schoolyard to work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
