Moghrey Mie Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 (edited) 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. https://www.three.fm/news/isle-of-man-news/permission-sought-for-ramsey-joke-shop-demolition/ Edited September 12 by Moghrey Mie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barlow Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 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? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non-Believer Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quay in Ramsey could be beautiful and should've been tastefully redeveloped using some of the old structures, a long time ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see what comes out and what happens to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Lamb Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
