Two-lane Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 It is not necessary to make business trips to other places to get ideas like this. It was proposed (in a humorous way) on this forum some years ago. [And as far as zip-wires go, they work best when the incline is not too severe. Snaefell to Laxey would require a braking system - braking system? Snaefell? That sound familiar] 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radiolistner Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 22 minutes ago, Twitch said: Great to see taxpayers money being used for mini breaks for civil servants. It does look like a great civil service day out doesn't it? A nice trip to Wales to do some zip wiring and write up a little report and do a Facebook post for engagement. I would suggest that as Carol Glover (the “Maverick maker” 🤮🤮) thinks it’s a good idea then its probably a very bad idea as she seems to have carved out a very mediocre career as an expert on entrepreneurial thinking having spent her time buying cheese for Shoprite and then blagging running a failed tourism department for IOM Government before disappearing up her own backside. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 I think over and through The Chasms would be a good idea as long as it's tested with some disposable civil servants first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinkydevil Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 I came up with this Laxey Zipline idea back in 1931, so I want my commission payment if it goes ahead + royalties for every user. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Tatlock Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 A zip wire is only one stage away from a cable car...and a monorail! I'd prefer a monorail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
