There you go.  I have even dropped it in the correct corner of the warehouse for you to make you life easier.

About a quarter of that warehouse is piled high with boxes full.

A warehouse full of boxes ? Isn't that what warehouses are for ?

They’ve also got 1,000 body bags at the ready.

And the secret submarine base in Foxd'l

Here’s a clue.  The helpful people who made that map have identified the museum for you using the internationally recognised symbol for a museum

Are they in the boxes, or are the boxes in the body bags ? Is there room for the secret crashed alien spacecraft ?

There is what looks like a WW2 plane in there if that helps (true story, no, I don’t have photos)

The NPM reports this morning, that IOMG purchased 1000 body bags, a week after closing the islands border. In the end the ‘death toll for COVID has been relatively low. Whilst IOMG were in some respects ‘prepared’  the future inquiry will no doubt throw up some interesting facts which IOMG will not want revealing. Can IOMG get a refund on these body bags? 

I think this was probably Procurement Services in Treasury at their best. Business Case says:

1) Spend £25m like Jersey on a Nightingale Hospital that’s never going to be used, or;

2) Do Nothing, or;

3) Buy 1,000 body bags at a discounted price of £595.35.

In hindsight, pure genius.

Presumably all it means is they can reduce their ordering for the next wee while.  At a guess, body bags are always required.

Do they have a use by date, or is that just for the contents?

Yes.  All the stuff sat up at Jurby had a use by date.  Body bags are five years from manufacture I believe
