Fred the shred Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Regarding Tours Isle of Man there has been nothing on MR about this, a friend of mine has booked to go on holiday with them in April has paid a deposit and was totally unaware of the situation until they read about it on IOM News and Politics. What a way to run a business I hope they get their deposit back but it won’t make up for disappointment, taking time of work etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also KWC pick ups for pupils also cancelled with effect tomorrow. Havent seen anything official announcement, any one heard ? I suppose if true, and IOM transport using public money to undercut them for private hire I can see why happening 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine they will get their money back very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 If Tours have been 'taken over' I'm sure there will be a statement soon about 'new' arrangements for these situations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 40 minutes ago, Kopek said: Does the MER Tram actually stop there long enough for pax to partake of the refreshments??? I could see two sides to that argument, pushing the pax to spend at the stop and forcing the pax to partake!!! you get off tram 'A' , have a nose bag , and continue your journey on tram' B' when it turns up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phantom Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 10 hours ago, Kopek said: No, Titanic was the worst, Straw Dogs the best along with 'The Odd Couple'' !!! First time I watched Titanic, I was drunk. Its surprisingly entertaining then. Rewatching sober; not so much.

If it’s a sequel to the original Dune film that I was dragged along to many decades ago regress no place for it in my life. Second worst film I’ve had to endure in my life, the first being “Marley and Me” although it’s close You're thinking of the 1984 one? That was my first intro to Sci fi and I still like it. But they re made it a couple of years ago (it was even better) and this is the sequel to the remake, out in a couple of months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omobono Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Tours also have several contracts with schools , I just hope they have got their PR in place cant be letting schools and children down with the weather we are currently experiencing ,and any uncertainty will cause them to loose drivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
