If a large influx of visitors resulted in a correspondingly higher crime rate then it looks bad on the TT as a whole. The figures show that the local dickheads are on a high too and there are more people to act like a dick in front of. A typical example, 25 years ago, I remember seeing a 16 year old scrawny wee shite from a well known estate in Douglas egging on a burger van queue of visiting bikers to "come and 'ave a go, I'll take the fookin' lorrof yas on". He was met with bemused and amused stares, from the mostly 6 foot+ Germans I see the guy around these days. He's a grandad and relatively respectable. I will pick my moment to remind him of the day.

Kopek Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) Bit of a 'Bitch Fest' here today! There's a headline on Manx Radio from a Hickman, saying ''Use your head on the Islands roads''!!! I don't think that that is the right message? Just the opposite I would think! 😃 Edited June 3, 2022 by Kopek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing as this. I didn't know he was on twitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandits Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 So now we already know the numbers are down. https://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/reinventing-the-tt-for-new-audiences-548998 And as there are a lot less flights and routes running we know the airport figures will be well below 2019.

There are much less flights and much less routes than there were in 2019. The airport figures are obviously going to be down as there are less scheduled flights.
