John Wright Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 26 minutes ago, piebaps said: There are two strings to the Homestay rules. Firstly Section 6 of the Tourist Act 1975 makes it illegal to use your premises as tourist premises without being registered. While the 1975 Act is the latest version, the root of Section 6 appears to be from a similar Act in 1961. Secondly, Homestay comes with a tax exemption. This only applies if the premises are registered. And a degree of insurance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piebaps Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Here's what they say on Insurance Insurance The Department for Enterprise will arrange Public Liability insurance cover on receipt of a signed copy of your registration form and associated administration fee. If a visitor is injured whilst staying in your property and they decide that you were somehow negligent, they have the option to bring an action against you. If you are registered with the scheme, the Department’s Public Liability insurance policy will respond and deal with the claim. This provides cover of up to £5 million and applies for the period the property is registered only. This insurance does NOT cover any accidental damage to your house or its contents. All Homestay hosts should contact their home insurer and advise that they will be accommodating paying guests during the periods of the TT and/or the MGP and Classic TT and arrange a suitable extension of cover as applicable. Failure to do so may invalidate your home and contents insurance policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly The issue is all of those who charge people to stay in their homes but who aren’t registered and who don’t have insurance. It is only a matter of time until someone gets caught out in a huge way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chief Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 2 hours ago, The Bastard said: Coronavirus is already here. You're talking about closing the stable door not only after the horse has bolted, but after it's bolted, been recaptured, lived a long life pulling trams, retired to the home for old horses, been knackered and made into glue. The virus isn't going away, and any effort should be focused on making sure people are vaccinated, which limits the severity of complications. Vaccinated people can still carry the virus and suffer from it, so the "unvaxxed" aren't the risk you think they are. Unvaxxed people are more of a risk to themselves than to the wider community as a whole. Rather than imagining we can hide in a blanket fort until it goes away, we need to carry on living with it. Eventually, the majority of the population will have been exposed in some form, and it will stop being the bogeyman. same as above: i didn't say it shouldn't run or that we should have restrictions i'm saying how can we put it on 'WHILE' there are still restrictions for anyone travelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Blonde Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Do we have an official line from Government on TT next year at this stage? Two people who are 'involved' with the organisation of the TT have expressed their doubts about it when I was speaking to them this week. One cited the 'massive cost' of road improvements/maintenance that would be needed to bring it up to meet ACU demands. The other mentioned there is apparently claims against the ACU that are ongoing? Is the Steve Mercer thing all sorted now? Or are there other cases ongoing? They thought that might be an issue in the actual races going ahead.

Non-Believer Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 I can't see some areas where that new "Ralumac"(?) surfacing has been applied passed as suitable for racing, unless it's intended to surface dress it with something else? As a surface it's as rough as hell with overbanding at the joints too where the sides of the laid strips join, down through the likes of Glen Helen in particular it's very noticeable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rode my motorcycle on the TT course as far as Ballacraine on Friday the Ralumac surface is dangerous, and the ridges cauused by the overlap of the edges tends to make front tyre weave and try to follow the raised overlap , what it will be like at 140MPH is anybodies guess , trying to cut corners by basically covering the road surface with a slurry is not the way forward , even the old tar and small granite chippings were a better solution than this , the roads are a disgrace , and everywhere drains and gullies blocked , I am just waiting for the wall to collapse into the road by the Union Mills pub , the water has been running over the stone wall for over a week and its on the way to Ellerslie depot so all the highway workers and boss's must see it , 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The road repairs were deferred to allow the road to be in good condition for the races so I don't think there's an issue there. The costs will have been allocated. Insurance will take care of the Mercer incident. 32 minutes ago, Manx17 said: Have I got this wrong, to race in the TT haven’t you got to do the southern and the Manx. As I can’t see many racing next year. I have a feeling if it goes ahead it’s not going to be that great. There is no requirement to do the Manx or S100 providing you can prove your capability. Racing has been in full swing elsewhere so there should be no issues with qualification or experience. I think there's been a upsurge of interest in the races, we may find fewer international travellers for obvious reasons but the island is pretty accessible for Brits and Irish and the break may have done us some good? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Flint Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 (edited) That Ralumac is odd stuff . I dealt with a fatality at Churchtown in early 2017.the surface had just been put down, and you could literally put your hand under it and lift it like a carpet. God knows what it must be like after a few heavy winters. Edited November 6, 2021 by Derek Flint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God knows what it must be like after a few heavy winters. There was a temporary speed restriction put on that area following that incident over concerns about the surface, too IIRC? The surface is still there, in fact time and traffic seem to have smoothed it out a bit, at least where the vehicle wheels pass over it.
