KERED Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 1 hour ago, Uhtred said: And a few more that are now threadbare from overuse are 'Great Manx Public' - 'Best available evidence' - ' Working very hard' - and, in the case of the DPH, - 'Yes, that's correct Chief Minister'. I hope someone has shown Hetty how to switch-on her computer, since the last briefing. (I wish Ashie and Hetty didn't feel the need to constantly refer to Howie as "Chief Minister! They are not in Tynwald, so a simple Mr Quayle would suffice.) And Mr Quayle certainly is SIMPLE. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trmpton Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Nice of Isle of Man transport to give low earners who need to get the bus in to work in the morning virtually no notice that they have banned cash. Jus shows what alternative universe these people live in where they assume everyone has contactless or can just teleport themselves down to the sea terminal at no notice to get a go card. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
