Traffic on the hospital estate roads, even early, is a mess. The main car park was half full, even at 08.30. The estate road surfaces are bable potholed. A&E parking was full. it’d be worse if the access to Braddan Commissioners new built Roundhouse was through the hospital estate. Took a drive to Strang Stores. Breakfast. Cornish Pastie and two sausage. £3.00 They're still the best on Island, @Banker, what’s your recommendation.? place was spotless. Yes, it’s higgledy piggledly, aisles are narrow. But the food serve area with the electric bain marie was clean, fresh, fully stocked. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too be honest I don’t really eat that type of unhealthy food, occasionally I have a full English on holiday, have sausage bap at home with sausages from willaston and rarely a pastie from pat a cake strand street. I would be concerned strang stores would collapse soon looking at state of building!, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Implies you do go out and about and have that type of food and know somewhere better. Or was it all made up, again? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred the shred Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 It isn’t worth the argument, anyone who has an appointment at the hospital knows the truth of the matter and it is exactly as you describe it pure mayhem and in the afternoons it seems to get worse. The added problem is everyone goes early for their appointment because they are concerned they will not get a park if you have waited some time to get an appointment to see a consultant or scan you need to be on time or perhaps lose your slot. A few years ago when I was fit I always used the overflow car park it was a totally better experience but those days are over. Extra traffic as you say will compound the problem I hope Manx Care stick to their guns on this one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred the shred Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Requisition meeting called now time and place TBA . The Captain of the Parish has now been presented with a letter that requests a meeting be called it has the required number of constituents signatures and it is regarding the Round House. I wonder if Banker is one of the unhappy residents? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
