AOR Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Who was the burger van guy who recently left the Island to retire in USA? He put all his belongings in Chrystals auction. I've never seen such hugely expensive ostentatious stuff ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No bank fees for card transactions cost the retailer 20% or even a £1 per transaction. And the operating costs will more for cash - it needs counting, keeping safe overnight, taking to the bank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 I heard a tale about the rents that were being charged to food outlets at the grandstand it was in the thousands does anyone know if this is true or has the price been exaggerated this came up when the price of a beef bap was priced at £7.50. It was a friend of a friend so the embroidery kit may have been out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first arrived with some minor damage to the grill and passenger side fairing. The second nothing at all. Both had clearly passed through the incident. Both made their way down Peel Road to the grandstand. Everything else was held at Douglas Road Corner according to MR. I am not disputing that there were four ambulance at the scene, however only one came down to QB under blues and twos. No other vehicles went up or down what is clearly the quickest route to the hospital. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoymouse Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 2 hours ago, Max Power said: Yes, you just answered your own question. Waved yellow flags mean slow down and be prepared to stop. Which all the riders observed, nobody piled into anything because they were warned by the flags. If a red flag was shown at the scene, you would have had six outfits blocking the road at a place where you can't pull in out of the way, in fact even if they were stopped earlier, that risk still applies. I don't know what you think will be achieved by what you suggest? They don’t slow down that much, if they’re doing 160mph and slow to 100mph it’s still a hell of a lot of distance covered in a relatively short time and quick enough to risk injury, waved yellows are absolutely counter productive because if you slow down you will lose time and it’s a timed lap…… Why would six outfits be blocking block the road? If it was an immediate red flag (the marshals telling race control that’s what’s happening, not the other way round) no more would’ve been sent down, so maybe you’d have 1 or two held at Bray hill, that would be it.

So much for entrepreneurial spirit. However it looks like that sign was up at the Creg so I can’t imagine anyone is paying even 10% of that up there to want to rip people off like that.

AOR Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Spend a grand a day to make a grand a day. What's wrong with that? The marketplace will sort it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair you said they turned over £7K in a day. Not that they made £7K a day. The pitch fee per day would be around £1,000 the wages for the day for 3 or 4 staff would a couple of grand. The cost of the food, gas, electric would be a reasonable chunk too. They won’t be making £7K a day. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0bserver Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 It's only right that the Government looks to monetise its return on these pitches for food stands and merchandise stalls. £15k isn't that bad for 2 weeks. The event costs millions to put on and is 'free' to watch so people should expect to pay for ancillaries. If you have 20 pitches at £15k each, that barely pays for the salaries of the so-called 'Motorsport Development Team' or pay for the road repairs that have been needed following damage caused by the TT this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
