I just checked its only £250 return with a motorbike even this close in, I paid more than that mid-winter in a car. That £1 million insurance policy, plus the multi-million infrastructure works, the extra doctors, nurses helicopters are not going to be covered by dirty skanks who live of ginsters, sleeping in hedges and defecating any place they think they can get away with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now notice they have had to come off the stone filled trench inside the corner as people were cutting onto it and throwing stones onto the road. That is a clear oversight. Rose tinted glasses and the ability to see things have improved over recent months aren’t the same thing. It’s simply the ability to see that as much as they have screwed up in the recent past (promenade, Richmond Hill, etc etc) the recent work is actually pretty good and if you look objectively rather than with shit tinted glasses you put on two years ago and stubbornly refuse to clean, they have done an awful lot in a few months.

Can you name a non-TT course road that's been resurfaced to the same extent? (Not including arse end of nowhere country lanes). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? I’ve seen drunken visitors asleep in the street and sunken gardens (but I see that outside of TT), but ‘many’ sleeping rough? Evidence please….

Well apart from the posts on facebook of people specifically asking about 'wild camping' I did report a few last year after coming across a gang of skanks in a plantation. No one should be allowed in without an accommodation booking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dossing on private /government land without any permit, with zero contribution to the economy and a load of human excrement all over the place hardly good for nature, last year hotels still had rooms empty if they come here they should pay for accommodation and put something back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
