You're forgiven, but it does illustrate how this will turn into a Manx vs Comeover argument with those English bastards telling us what to do. BTW, my origins are to the west and on the other side can be traced back to the 1830s in the IOM. So have no bastard English in me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manxtoffee Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Hello Rachel I refer to the beginning of your ‘spat’ with iom gov.

Declan Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Could the samples be split? So that it is tested in Liverpool (with the feed into UK data) and here (allowing the analysis of contact tracing). Liverpool would also provide a validation of Rachel's work and a back up if anything happened to her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to remember everything is relative. Every single person here is the offspring of a come-over. That is because at one time the island was inhabited.
