Addie 1,388 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 2) The shop with all the cowboys, indians, dinosaurs and pirates on the pavement outside, and where the shopkeep wears a Fez. Great. That's certain to fit right in Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blade Runner 1,012 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Few people know that the actual shop used in the series 'Mr Ben' is in Ramsey. They don't generally advertise where it is, but I'm pretty sure after a bit of searching I've narrowed it down to one of two possibilities: 1) The shoe shop next to the chippy, or... 2) The shop with all the cowboys, indians, dinosaurs and pirates on the pavement outside, and where the shopkeep wears a Fez. I'll keep you up to date if I make any progress! You dont know how close to the truth your post is Tweek, there is a shop in Ramsey that rents out fancy dress costumes but all I can say is that it is not in the main street. I would tell you where it is but it was about 8 years ago, when I was in there and I cant remember where it was. Maybe I imagined it, maybe that is how it works? Its not really a shop BTW, its someones house and the ground floor is full and I really mean full of costumes. The bloke I dealt with was not wearing a Fez however, so when I tried on the costume, a nice YMCA type Cowboy number! I was not magically transported to the Wild West, which was a bit of a disappointment but I got over it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
manxbutcher 54 Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 We don't miss you either Roger. OP - you mentioned shops (plural) what else is opening then? I did mean costa as well but was more interested in the old mea site. Disappointed really as thought it could have been a decent shop. Lots being refurbished but aside from Costa, I've not heard of anything else new opening up. I did hear from a couple of people that the old Pickwicks (next to Lloyds TSB) was going to be a shoe shop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ballajora Artists 0 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I don't know, but I saw people working there! We need to ask those who are working there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jah_pet 30 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I walked passed the new costa today and there was food in the cabinet. I assume that that means it is open or about to open. Does anybody know the opening times? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mission 1,108 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 They're on the door. It did look like it was about to open, few people milling about in there yesterday afternoon - no idea if they were staff or customers. A sign on the door/window saying opening on ... would be handy.

Mission 1,108 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 People walking along the street with Costa branded cups so it must be open. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doc.fixit 3,030 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 got fed up waiting in the queue to be served at costa today so went to our usual at barista. I'm amazed that anyone will put up with such a long wait.......ridiculous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moghrey Mie 1,499 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 People always flock to a new place on the IOM. Give it a couple of months and things will calm down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mission 1,108 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 They need to sort those steamy windows out - you can't see in the place for condensation. They shut early too, 5pm, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They shut early too, 5pm, If i knew it was 5pm I would have popped in. The sign on the door says half 4 so I took my business elsewhere Quote Link to post Share on other sites
