Just had a chat in office with business partner- consensus was if we have to ask for funding like this we fucked up a long time ago and committed to things we couldn’t honour. Not really how a viable business should operate. You never want to see anyone suffer loss of livelihood but sometimes it’s inevitable and trying to save it by taking cash from people with little chance of return speaks volumes of the proprietor. The business is doing well but here you are just throwing wild opinions about again. Not to the extent they can just buy the property, but I'm sure that's no different to a lot of businesses that are turning some form of profit.

Happier diner Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 44 minutes ago, Katman said: I thought there was in a clue in the name of the day off, 'Bank Holiday'. I have no issue with that. But it was open it seems. It's not a bank. Bank holidays are normally seen as opportunities by hospitality. Yes that's harsh on the workers but I expect they get time off in lieu. Genuine question, in your view. Should we go back to the days when everything is shut on public holidays and Sundays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to the bank with a business plan and ask for a loan then. Edited September 6 by Tinpot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be doing well- but a holiday let property business without a holiday property to let isn’t a business - so my wild opinion thrown might not be so wild. The Living Hope Cult connection / angle is interesting though- many possibilities there - Elder Nelson Corporate Director of Big Blue Bank who was involved with Louis Group collapse might grant them a mortgage - repaid by tithes. At least they might have matching chairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moghrey Mie Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Some companies always say they can't afford to pay their workers the minimum. https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/businesses-express-concerns-over-minimum-wage-proposals/ I wonder what 'the workers' will do with the extra money they get? Maybe they will spend it and keep more money in the economy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 (edited) Certainly there will be a cost to business but the 188mil quoted seems a little far fetched??? The min quoted in the article 2023, £10.75 is now £11.45, much closed to the living wage proposed of £13.75 and doesn't take into account that there will be an increase in the min wage next year anyway.

Fred the shred Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 New cafe/ take away planned for Howard Street in the old material shop according to IOM Today. Just what we are short of or not . The most relaxing place for coffee I have found is above Waterstones good seating and reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems that you can invest yourself by buying a pod. Pretty much like renting a timeshare out. Oddly it seems their website is more targeted at this than actually people staying there.

It’s allegedly getting all the second hand pods from Glen Helen. I bet that wasn’t in the business plan that they sold to the Commissioners. They are moving a lot of mud around this week.

It’s the same people, they’ve been digging around for a few years and all there is are a few wooden cabins scattered about, several motor homes and a few other derelict looking vehicles. Can’t understand why this prime site wasn’t allocated for housing particularly social housing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StCatherine Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Port Erin commissioners have been obsessed with “glamping” for years. Pam Crowe got it stopped, then that Maddrell fella. When the Clerk gets an idea in his head it happens one way or another. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully there is an actual campsite at glendown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Does that mean that Glen Helen are packing up, or just going to upgrade those chalets??? If they pull the chalets out of Glen Helen, does that make the Lodge re-financing less viable? Could that be the reason Lodge are trying to buy the ingoing??? If the Lodge are sub-letting from Glamping Ltd and Glamping are at the end of their lease that could leave the Lodge in tricky water? Maybe DEFA will give them a primary lease or put it out to tender??? Perhaps Jack White could expand??? Again, anyone any idea what is happening with the Swiss Chalet? It seems to be restored from the mysterious fire!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
