They are all busy imploding their own revenue model. Suddenly, they'll find there is no one left to fine anymore as businesses say 'enough is enough'...that have no staff to work here as it's too expensive to live here. Or 90% of your staff will now be the Compliance Department and it is now virturally impossible to undertake even the simplest of financial transactions without re-writing the bible. As the Chamber of Commerce says and I've been piping up about for ages - Govt red tape is hindering business: https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/chambers-frustration-over-government-red-tape/ Edited June 26, 2023 by The Phantom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think there are enough estate agents? Some are good, some are bad, some are lazy and some are greedy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They change periodically. K&S owners have enough on their plate and did both The Grandstand and Bushys during TT. He works his behind off. Moonlight (sister venue of Kiki's) closing, but only for refurb until September. They do it periodically to keep it fresh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Street kitchen from k&s is one of my favourite places for lunch if I'm in town on a weekday I don't know how the owners manage so many businesses at the same time..

He was there himself serving food up at The Grandstand. Possibly the hardest working owner of any business I know, and a nice guy into the bargain. FWIW, and totally my opinion based on hearsay, I don't think any food business will last long at Seven Kingdoms. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
