I thought it was a local legal obligation that local ATMs had to dispense Manx notes and special dispensation had to be given to the Sea Teminal and Airport ATMs to allow them to dispense UK? I don't think that it's legally required, just a long-standing agreement with the banks etc that they will use Manx notes if they can, except for the ones at the Airport and Sea Terminal for obvious reasons.

Aren’t there double yellow lines there? Or it’s a taxi rank ( maybe not that far back) Edited July 30, 2022 by The Voice of Reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilp Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Takes 30 seconds to pull the cash. Rank has never ever been full, only seen one cabbie sat there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoTailT Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Weds 11:30. Let's get our B&Q discount shopping outta the way first, so the women (or men) in our lives can do the gardening whilst we're otherwise engaged and the pitchforks won't cost as much.

The Phantom Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I was chatting to someone from Jersey yesterday and we got onto talking about Govt shambles. Apparently they have similar capital project issues there, but right now there is quite a bit of suspicion that something fishy has been going on with the Jersey Govt owned airline Aurigny. For the last few years it's been making losses of approx £20m per year (last year was slightly less - £13.5m). https://www.itv.com/news/channel/2022-03-17/guernsey-airline-aurigny-suffered-135-million-loss-in-2021 This is something to bear in mind when people are asking for more Govt involvement into our airline connections, especially when you consider Jersey has a much more significant tourist industry than we do here. However all of a sudden this year they have suddenly started to show a profit and this is at a time when the airline industry as a whole is on its knees! https://www.itv.com/news/channel/2022-05-25/guernseys-airline-aurigny-encouraged-by-its-2021-financial-results He isn't someone I would expect to go all conspiracy, but this does seem a bit weird.
