It’s odd that since we bought it in 2018 the TT numbers have gone up exponentially. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an increase since 2010, they've altered the methods since then, so comparisons need to made carefully. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steady Eddie Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 The police are looking for video footage of the sidecar crash.

That’s an interesting theory. Why would a media outlet hold on to such a thing? 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the timing of the acquisition in 2018 the TT figures post acquisition have been 2019 46,174 2020 0 2021. 0 2022. Somewhere between 45,000 and 50,500 some people have an odd view of exponential. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, knowing Ramsey Bakery had closed down, you knew he had to travel to uk for the loaf. You only gave him the money for a "one way" ticket. Not even the money for the loaf! Harsh! What did he do wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it another case of them wanting to be seen to do something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do people seriously believe that nearly 5,000 foot passengers have all of a sudden booked this week when the spaces left available on the boat were already very limited? As at the middle of last week we were 1,000 SPC passengers down now we seem to be over 3,000 up. There has been an extra boat a day, pretty much.

Tina Weymouth on bass guitar. “Life during wartime” on the Talking Heads Stop Making Sense Tour. Freely available on You Tube. I defy anyone to watch this to the end and not feel their life has been so enriched by doing so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
