Well i have learned something today. Yes I did mean the little island halfway across the Sound. I never knew it had a name. Anyway, next year I am going to nominate it. Its a fantastic destination for seals. Edited August 9 by Happier diner Fat fingers 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladys Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Do we know who made the nomination and do they have a back up plan when we are ranked near the bottom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll be forgotten about, buried, unreported, and in any FoI they’ll say no information exists, as if it never happened. They'll contact Google and seek to exercise the right to be forgotten. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, I love the IOM, but if this is put to a vote I cannot see how we would beat some of the other islands with a better climate and more visited than here. Just seems we are putting ourselves up to fail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted August 10 Author Share Posted August 10 I bet it’s a KPI on some government department list and there will be pats on the back all around. They say all publicity is good publicity and PR is nothing more than self promotion by any means possible, so if it gets tourists here then I guess job done. There’s a bigger problem with tourism though. Maybe I’ll make a video on that actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the same with Oscars, BAFTAS, TONYS, MBOS, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
