Quite possibly fanciful figures plucked out of the sky to impress Tynwald. No doubt they'll fall hook line and sinker... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted Monday at 07:00 PM Share Posted Monday at 07:00 PM Just now, Passing Time said: all the way to the felt museum? You're pushing it now. A felt museum will need a complete revamp of Cregneash with each cottage equipped to produce its own signature felt and a time machine to show how it was produced in the 18th century. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeliX Posted Monday at 07:02 PM Share Posted Monday at 07:02 PM Why is it now being referred to as the "Crogga gas field?" Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's the Isle Of Man's natural resource, not some private company's. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non-Believer Posted Monday at 07:45 PM Share Posted Monday at 07:45 PM There was something on the radio news article today about this proposal relying and being predicated on 30 year old data. What other projects in this world would be proposed on this basis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not but research techniques and technology does. If you were investing in this, surely you'd want to know that the latest possible information and assessments were available and that the proposal had incorporated those findings?

I would want to not be spending money unnecessarily at this stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
