That’ll produce plenty of light. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the stinking enigma Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 39 minutes ago, Gladys said: I don't think that is the case at all, and certainly not to save a few quid; how would it? More to do with finding a pathway between managing covid whilst keeping the boats running which resulted in a lack of clarity and misinterpretation. There were also, possibly, the wrong skillsets involved in checking on implementation and compliance, as I argue above. Lastly, the lack.of wider consultation outside of the 'gold team' which may have informed and sense-checked measures. What is more of a worry to me was the lack of acknowledgement, the glossing over and unwillingness to listen to others since. Not sure to be honest. Could they not have hired more crew to allow for isolating? Regular testing, being that they were a potential critical weak link in any elimination strategy. Regular testing of the uk crew too. Would have cost a few quid but its a gamble we lost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't get very far in the Manx CS if you got that wrong! Very true, the CS want every penny to pay their salary's and empire building so cut corners on what they are actually supposed to be doing. Douglas prom is a prime example, the old road was concrete with asphalt on top, lasted 80+ years. The new road, is not concrete and will subside over time, it has to as the tide comes in and out under the surface and constantly moves the ground at depth. This lack of concrete road is to save money, nothing else. I really could not believe they were just using "type 1" of sorts down there. Mark my words, there will be ruts and sunken potholes to be patched not long after it is finished and this will continue until they spend the money on a proper concrete road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the greater scheme of things, not great costs. We seemed to rolling very lucky dice up until January. Something changed and we need to get to the bottom of that.
