mal48 62 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 More government waste of money on rebranding the two infant and junior schools at Lezayre road under a new unpronounceable Manx name and a new purple uniform to encompass the two schools. Who thinks these schemes up and who passes these totally unnecessary expensive projects for the tax payer and parents who will have to fork out for new uniforms in these difficult times.

Tarne 2,511 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) That does seem like a waste of money. Just call it "Scoill Rumsaa" or even better, Ramsey Primary School and be done with it Edited November 9, 2012 by Tarne Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Manxforums has already bleated hard about this: http://www.manxforums.com/forums/index.php?/topic/52885-auldyn-infants-and-scoill-ree-gorree-names-to-go/ You should search for your particular petty winge before committing.

Monkey boy 2,624 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Presumably only unpronounceable if you don't speak Manx. How many people do speak Manx? 1823 according to the 2011 census, although many more would have the knowledge to pronounce a few basic words. There is an irony in that the dept. of education did nothing to further people of my generations knowledge of the Manx, although even non speakers will know a few words from common place names - the ones that haven't been Anglosized like the road names that are needlessly translated into English. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
