Although that might be over full leaving Douglas. Inconvenience maybe but hardly life threatening. There does seem to be a fair few learners out and about, let's see how long they last Edited May 9, 2022 by Passing Time Stoopid autocorrect 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says they’re paying £13 an hour for retail staff if anyone wants to apply. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe what you are telling me but I know of a couple of people who have applied for a job up there (over 3 weeks ago) and still not heard back from them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a huge big sign at the front door asking for people to apply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually has a lot to do with it. What's the point in advertising for staff then not having the decency to acknowledge applications 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly certain they were supposed to be on spec from Mercedes (yes them again) and the trial was as unsuccessful as everyone predicted. Though it wouldn't surprise me if Longworth had entered into some sort of legal agreement with the vendor and we had to pay them off.

Turning down Banks Hill, going through Castletown and any of the housing estates. Other than that, they were perfect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite sure why that would amuse you, if only a little. I have seen these signs on the buses asking people to remain seated until the bus has come to a stop which seems perfectly reasonable to me. There is no mention of any danger on these signs. I think you’re being a little over dramatic to be honest.
