Frances Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 nothing seems to have changed - in 1764 it was noted "Of these different Species of Merchandize great Quantities are imported into the Island in Foreign Bottoms" - see http://www.isle-of-man.com/manxnotebook/history/treasury/t434_56.htm 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two-lane Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 One Foreign Bottom had 2000lb weight of Tea and 500 Gallons of Brandy. You would not get that in a Manx Bottom, not these days 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manx Bean Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Not having cocaine was a lost headline opportunity…prisoner concealed crack in his crack.. Not as funny as the one reported a few days ago of someone caught concealing a stash in a shower cap attached to his genitals..true! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake me up Judy Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I'm also reminded of Little Buttercup, the Portsmouth 'bumboat woman' in HMS Pinafore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed it was: Four bags of white powder, and £624 in cash, was recovered at the scene; a strip search, at Police Headquarters, revealed he was smuggling 48 bags of drugs in a shower cap attached to his genitals.

Not drug related, grant you, but a sight (and a horrifying one at that) to be seen, none the less. You should have stayed longer. The sight of said rider then putting the cash into the slot machine was a thing to behold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won’t be able to do that party trick now, before long small coinage will be withdrawn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
