Manxweegie Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 At the title says i am considering returning to Isle of Man, what (if any) would be the actual benefits of coming back to the Island? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrighty Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Don’t ask on here - you’ll get a bunch of polarised opinions and eventually people will start abusing each other and moaning about government/civil service. I suggest you try it for 6 months and make your own mind up. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

immortalpuppet Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 It’s fairly subjective, moving from London back to IOM is very different from moving back from somewhere like rural Wales. Low crime rate, great sense of community, rich history and always things to do if you look. That’s what brought me back years ago. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chief Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 i find that away from say Douglas is where the island comes into its own, the countryside is lovely, there's always places to find and things to do for almost all ages, the only caveat to that is that they are not handed to you on a plate there is a little bit of searching or finding out but once you realise that there's pretty much everything here. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 The IOM does have its good points, but it’s ‘leaders’ and it’s politicos are utterly useless, and have let the island down badly. It’s wasted money hand over fist, and is wrapped up in its own pomposity, and dick wavingness instead of quietly getting on with things. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0bserver Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 If you choose the right part of the Island you could have David Ashford MBE or Rob Callister as your elected representative. They are true political titans of the modern ages and anyone would be lucky to be their constituent. 1 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
