wrighty 5,852 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 If the roundabout is under the IOM, presumably it’ll be subject to Manx jurisdiction, including rules on isolation. I imagine our plans for this are well advanced, with day 1, 6/7 and 13 covid testing while drivers are held in a circulating holding pattern until either being released to NI or signposted back to Liverpool. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Declan 7,414 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) 1 hour ago, pongo said: It's a brilliantly dopey idea. But why build the roundabout under the island? That makes no sense. Why not above ground? Because if it was above ground the DOI would turn it into a race track or insist on laying horse tram tracks or turn it into 57 mini-roundabouts or build the entire thing in Chinese granite or decide not to have a speed limit but to use sleeping policemen instead.

Don't give them ideas with a horse tram to Heysham. Poor things'd be knackered by the time they got there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
