To me, Rob Callister is intent in upsetting those providing Homestay with his comments. It’s coming across as though the TT are going ahead, maybe going ahead but with changes - a TT without tourists as mentioned before? Hence the need for flexibility? Something isn’t sounding straight forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake me up Judy Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Rob always comes over a bit Ron Manager with his breezy optimism and all those rugged phrases. Big front but no arse in his trousers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be challenging to get the momentum going again I think, the SPCo and Hoteliers will have spent a lot of the money paid to them for 2020/21 bookings and could be working for nothing? We always have to take the first step if we are to get going again, otherwise we will spend the rest of our lives cowering and waiting for the next outbreak or mutation.

James Blonde Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 There comes a point where good money has to stop being thrown after bad. But I don't think that will happen in the next 5 years! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoundTheCourse Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 TT2022 has GOT to go ahead and re-establish the TT before the climate change brigade get their teeth into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Johnson Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) The TT may well be the reason we have such a shit tourist accommodation provision. It allows shitty dumps to keep going when in the real world they would go out of business due to their crap standards. The half a million visitor project will never work as long as we have damp old converted guest houses from the start of the last century as our main accommodation providers. Look on the web, you can find clean new hotels all over the mainland, what have we? The Premier Inn and the hotel in Ramsey, other than that a lot of badly done up crap, The new one on Broadway thats name escapes me excepted.
