By who? If you’re talking about social housing I don’t think it quite works like that. Acceptance criteria - public housing From 1 June 2019 the criteria for general needs housing will change for all housing authorities on the Island. The new criteria is available to read in the downloadable document on the right hand side. All housing authorities on the Island apply a common approach for acceptance on to housing waiting lists. A leaflet explaining the common criteria is available (see downloadable documents). You should note, in particular, that applicants must be aged 18 or over and have been a resident on the Island for a total of at least 10 years, 3 of which must have been spent in the area they are Edited August 23 by The Voice of Reason 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 If, if if, it were an immigration scam, then I'm sure accommodation could be found and deducted from their megre wages? Still I could do with some new 'Woolies', winter's coming!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casta Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 I noticed that Bordello is now an Irish Bar but it was closed. That's a new one on me and looking through the windows I couldn't tell if it was in the process of being opened or if it had opened and there was a helluva opening night and everyone has still got a severe hangover. Can anyone enlighten? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Poppins Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 (edited) Maybe the knitting people could make some TT branded jumpers from all the Manx wool that the farmers were crying about at the agricultural show? Could even make some of those novelty knob warmers for @IOM. Edited August 25 by Hairy Poppins 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats happened to Chingan, on Post Office Row? Vellikas ran that as well. They did indeed John, a company called V&V Catering Limited operated both. The boss tells me that Chingans wasn't generating enough business to be viable and they pulled the plug. Imogen (the blond lady @ front of house) had started up her own daytime business White Tiger and that was proving to be a better bet. Her husband was the chef at Chingans and he's in the White Tiger kitchen which why the fusion style menu is in a lot of ways not dissimilar to Chingans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you advise which jobs are being paid that as I’m unaware of any ? There are relocation packages for essential workers eg healthcare, police.
