The Voice of Reason Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 3 minutes ago, Numbnuts said: I'm very honest too but not sure not bailing out government infrastructure would be dishonest. As I said , why not as a alternative idea , just fix it or replace it. The Airport actually tells you just to park and ignore payment rules. Surprisingly noting your Voice of Reason name it seems in this case you've lost that honour . Maybe you've turned over to the darkside ! . And as for the Shoprite analogy , thats nonsense , apples and pears . You’re not bailing out government infrastructure, just paying unto Caesar what is due to Caesar as Jesus instructed. The parking fees lost ( thousands of pounds I would imagine) would maybe help in some small way in alleviating the poverty issue discussed in another thread. I think the Shoprite anology is perfectly valid, In both cases you are getting something you should pay for for nothing and someone, be it the Government or Shoprite are losing out. How is that nonsense.? I’d like to hear your explanation. My user name remains unblemished. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The airport car park belongs to the Manx nation who DOI have decreed they will charge to park on it. If they cant be arsed to fix the barriers then thats down to them. Ohhh in my view its so not unblemished now ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is it ? My username has now been enhanced by this exchange. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IOM Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 On 12/31/2021 at 6:07 PM, Roger Mexico said: Well according to that very Sky News article: Planned re-signalling work at London Victoria had already resulted in most Southern trains due to serve the station between 27 December and 3 January being diverted to run to and from London Bridge. This was timed to coincide with the festive period when demand for travel is low. Since you had originally claimed: No Gatwick Express or Southern train services into London Victoria due to staff shortages. Largely down to staff absence arising from the virus but it’s been quite a common issue for several years on that route I was just pointing out that that wasn't the case currently - what's happened is that Southern have extended that for some days because of Covid's effect on staffing (and I suspect demand). See below do you still think it’s engineering works ? Due to the ongoing effect of coronavirus isolation and sickness, there will be no Gatwick Express services until further notice.

The IOM has zero appeal to the BA target market. Channel Islands has much more to offer and better weather. Strange, when you look at things to do in Jersey not one mention of heritage on their main page! They know how to market themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driver2020 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 There are some barriers up the D o I quarry in Foxdale similar age just sitting there, as they are no longer needed they could be used for spares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asitis Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Not to mention the 500 million it would cost to build, and the fact that the human race may have died out before it was finished, if waterslides are a speed benchmark ! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Finally going to go away. I just looked at the flights out of the airport to London. One a day direct. Sometimes none. Generally at complete useless times. Completely diabolical. It would appear that (unless you're on a motorbike) the biggest hurdle to getting tourists here, will be actually getting tourists here! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
