There's a dreadful report about Ramsey in the 1850's or 1860's - the sort of report one would gladly bury. I *think* it was written by the Methodists but am not sure, i remember an excellent Antiquarian society lecture describing just how poor Ramsey was.

Get down to the museum, the poor conditions in Douglas and Ramsey are also well documented in the Isle of Man Antiquarian Society proceedings of many years ago.

if it has a petrol engine (internal combustion) and is under 50cc then it's legally a moped so must be registered.

Quite a sensible solution.
