A fool and his money..... Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I'm sure they have had more too, to sort out the cock up with the flumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is talking bollocks, like I said. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramseyboi Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 @offshoremanxmanwhere is there any evidence or suggestion that two slides have cost 4.2m other than in your posts? it is complete nonsense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where does it say anywhere it was 4.2m for two slides as you stated? It doesn’t. The whole refurb including both pools and the slides is quoted as 4.2m How about just admitting you were wrong? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non-Believer Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 From memory - there was major refurbishment to include a large amount of retiling (questions were raised about the quality of some of that workmanship too, IIRC). There were issues before and after with the moveable (up and down) floor of the main pool as well, presumably they've been rectified. Many tales abound about the business with the slides including specifications, contracts, suppliers, damage in transit but I can't vouch for the veracity of any of it. There was an approach to Tynwald for a supplementary funding of @ £227k to resolve the slide issue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramseyboi Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 @offshoremanxmanwhat is confusing fella? You called them out for spending all that money on two slides. It wasn’t for two slides, it was for much more than that. Still a stupid amount of money but just admit your post was bull, or do you still believe it to be accurate? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
