dilligaf Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Like a big Cod. Sorry, I didn't want to stirrup any trouble. I think you should bridle your tongue before I get saddled with the blame.

Oh.....and tripe is bovine not equine. Edited August 14, 2016 by dilligaf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langweilig Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Christian announced on Manx radio that tourism is dead and they're going to use the money for property development at Strathallan or somewhere Has Manx tourism been allowed to die? Personally, I keep getting an urge to back to the IOM after a seven-year absence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langweilig Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Manx tourism is very much reliant on folks like yourself Langweilig Yes. But there's more to Manx tourism than horse trams. Do none of the MHK's know that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

war baby Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 The sale of the trams is a complete outrage. Flogging them off for maybe a few thousand at best is a dereliction of duty to the public to maintain the attractiveness of the Isle of Man as a desirable and unique destination. The horse trams are known throughout the world to enthusiasts and they undoubtedly bring good publicity and tourism to the island. Mind you, I would quite like to buy one, but Mrs WB says no! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the stinking enigma Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 do they come with a free horse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebees Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Mind you, I would quite like to buy one, but Mrs WB says no! Same here, I was totally up for having one in the garden (it would totally fill it) but MrBees said "No!" or words to the same effect.

Moghrey Mie Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I'm not a big fan but I hope these trams will remain on the island as they are part of the history. It's a shame they have been neglected so badly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
