Oh and let Mr Bentley know, that he can delete his wierd responses on twitter, you know the ones where he finds it amusing ratepayers are upset paying for Santons better waste services but they are all screenshotted . Really hit a nerve with this one . But I guess I would when you know its true. Like I said it isn't just ratepayers who are sick and tired of you lot , it's your employees . (You know the ones allegedly getting threatened). Anyway I'll continue this after Christmas, I'm off to build my fire and burn my excess rubbish Edited December 24, 2022 by Manxieover65 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came to no conclusion as you claimed, I simply said “Makes you wonder if” which is far from arriving at any form of view or conclusion at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What on earth made you wonder if a motivation for moving to two weekly collections in Douglas could possibly be to secure a contract in Santon to collect rubbish every Wednesday morning? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said you're just here to argue like a pedant. I’m not interested as my above responses are perfectly clear to anyone of normal intellect.

I’m not interested as my above responses are perfectly clear to anyone of normal intellect. It is not pedantic to question the basis on which you have come to your 'wonderings', which do not make sense if you look at it (cut the whole of Douglas collections so we can do a half day collection each week in Santon). But for some, your 'wonderings' will become the truth that 'they' are hiding from us. That is not pedantry, it is a grown up argument. But anyone of normal intellect would recognise that. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Mexico Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Just to add some figures to Gladys's argument, there were 11,806 households in Douglas in the 2021 Census. There were only 313 in Santon. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pool it all and you would think there would be efficiencies and better handling. Oh wait ...... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
