j2bad Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Anyhow, I heard that Raj Chatta may be interested, in which case bye bye RTC and hello Oddbins. I can't see Ramsey people going there when they can shop at 'Alcoholic Products' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parchedpeas Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 This, the post office, the pier, the marina. Ramsey is full of people who like to moan about things but not so many who like to actually DO things. There is money all over the town: why don't the RTC promise to cover the running costs on the rates, but let the purchase be funded by a town whip-round. That way, the 'people of Ramsey' will be able to demonstrate how much they actually like and want and need these things. Then, after that issue has been put to bed and the funding stalls at around £50k from the usual individuals who show up and deliver time and again, the government can get on with selling it to someone privately. People need to put up or shut up. The glory days are over and these 'nice to have' things are no longer top of the list, especially when there is a brain drain and an exodus of young families who can't afford to live here anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure a pub with clean toilets and NOT selling Carling by the can would go down too well in Ramsey Edited March 20, 2017 by Zammo Maguire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Tatlock Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Ramsey really needs to reinvent itself...not hang on to a rusty old iron pier and a boat lake you can't even drown in even if the water's up to your knees. Ramsey...Stop hanging out in the 50s...get real. Do something IMAGINATIVE! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gettafa Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Question in Tynwald. Hah hah, seems like Malarkey's microphone has been adjusted. He sounds like a little boy speaking over a transistor radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gettafa Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) Apparently, all this hoo-haa was only about the War Memorial and teh rights of way. The Chief Minister and Malarkey have spoken about their feelings on the War Memorial, The Speaker too, and are coming out of all this smelling of roses. It's ok, the War Memorial and the rights of way are staying. (erm, as if, they could be just moved anyway). Nothing to see here. Move on folks.
