Howie & Ashie won’t be happy!! Probably wont be happy but I'm really not happy by there short sighted stupid move to eliminate anyone who can assist in the fight .

dreamon Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Great to see Rachel on BBC NW. Time for HQ & associates to swallow their pride and get her back on board. This is a pandemic that we're dealing with - not an ego competition! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her company seems pretty busy with their usual animal genetics. And any stuff from across will have to be couriered or posted which will add to turnaround times. But the journey from Nobles to Onchan is rather less time-consuming. Edited January 12, 2021 by Roger Mexico 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good, hopefully that will force a reply from an official spokesperson somewhere and maybe a follow up interview from a few of our local radio stations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lxxx Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 11 minutes ago, Roger Mexico said: I think you've developed a mild case of Barrie Stevens Syndrome, where the hidden hand of Whitehall is seen as controlling everything that happens on the Island. While most of the time they don't care or are unaware of our existence. In actual fact any data we provided wouldn't be much use at all if pooled into a larger UK database. Both in terms of numbers (tiny by comparison) or in what the data would say. Because of our geographic separation it would make as little sense as including Irish or French data. The value of anything we produced would be as a separate, high-quality, small size dataset where conclusions could be drawn about things such as infection rates and periods. Haha, not at all. As I outlined in a later post, I am just wondering if there could be a reason other than sheer stupidity and arrogance to dispense with qualified and available resource on island in favour of a whole number of potentially negative variables using a lengthier and more convoluted process we now have in place. Or maybe I am under-estimating our uncanny ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Website says they are TEMPORARILY CLOSED DUE TO LOCKDOWN RESTRICTIONS. It also says they do deliveries though and many shops seem to have moved to this (and kept the service going when the shop reopened for service). A lot of ads that appear may have been booked before lockdown was imposed. Manx Radio website seems particularly poor at not removing inappropriate ones.
