Making it more expensive might actually make it more attractive too. Take it up market. Fucks sake 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have difficulty grasping anything Banker, you seem to have difficulty grasping my point that we are a little island in the middle of the Irish Sea with a couple of events which up to now have been punching above their weight. These events bring more to the island than you seem able to believe, we are in danger of the great god of supply and demand doing irreparable damage to the said events, with a knock on effect to our hospitality industry. Not to mention destroy the very thing which attracts many talented enthusiasts here to live. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santona, the new e-flexer for Brittany Ferries, set off from the Chinese port of Weihei on 28/12. Arrives Bilbao 25/12. Busan to IoM is same distance/route. Manxman is slower than Santona. The end February/mid March estimated arrival must be looking at risk. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will just have to wait and see. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least as Max has said, tourism increases the quality of life for residents too. Subsidise the finance sector? The finance sector subsidises everything on the Island. Everything. We're a one trick pony. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
