Joke shop to be demolished?

No Sunday school picnic from the south was complete without sneaking off to the Ramsey Joke shop. We were easily entertained in thise days.

Perhaps it could be replaced with a coke shop?

It's already gone apparently. What a pity. It was an institution. The only place you could buy a realistic dog shit. My mother grabbed a dustpan and brush when she saw one under the sofa.

The amazing thing about that piece is that the shop didn't shut till 2018.

No, it's still half there, they took the top storey off it a few weeks ago and then, er, stopped for some reason. But the building was/is absolutely rotten, the roof had been gone off it for years, Pigeon Central.

Remember those Sunday School picnics well. The old charas, streamers fluttering from the windows, happy kids leaving Ramsey... Whatever happened to the Isle of Man ?

The quay in Ramsey could be beautiful and should've been tastefully redeveloped using some of the old structures, a long time ago.

Rumours all over the place about why it stopped.  Will be interesting to see what comes out and what happens to it.

Last time I went there was 1967. We were at scout camp at Little London and went up to Ramsey on the train. I bought a throwing knife to play Split the Kipper. Happy days, unless someone got your foot.

Nail through the finger anyone?
