I'm fully digital, haven't received a cheque for a couple of years.

I'm surprised - a year or more ago we had to go digital.

UK?

FWIW UK VAT is now fully digital, cheques no longer used. I don't see how you can pay VAT or receive a refund without a bank account which is part of the UK clearing.

A true Tesco convenience store is usually more expensive than a normal store, typically 10%. All this information is on the web.

Friends have seen it, were quite shocked.

Shifting work to India not always a clever move.

Some people are just f**king stupid. For your health you're much better dressing properly than living in an over-warm house. I wear arthritis gloves due to very, very low Raynauld on my hands. No need for a baking hot office. Heating in the 60's? No fireplace in my bedroom, ice on the north-facing windows, maybe one fire running in the house before heading off to primary school in Ramsey. I do not remember KWC being over warm in winter. We turned out normal (*). * YMMV.

Future planning is essential.

Which collisions?

The priority is as stated above by CrazyDave with affordable housing an optional part of the package.

As per my comment, "when not absolutely essential". Easy to come up with an excuse, that minibus could have easily killed someone.

Even with good winter tyres, who in their right mind goes out in this when not absolutely essential?

Nopey.

Better still - set your watches for this time next year.

It's the only solution if the IOM is to have a reliable service.

Sooner or later IOM will buy a stake in Heysham, this crap just can't continue.

Tides levels do change with very low / high pressure, also the level at Heysham is subject to drift (or whatever the correct term is). But it's not a good situation and isn't going to get better.

Not bought a boat designed for the Irish sea it would seem - those high sides will be regretted (famous last words).

I'm 66, still having 'teething problems'.

Bollox. Try erecting that in Germany and see what happens. Can Ramsey sink any lower?

Embarrassing.

What does progress have to do with Ramsey?

Back to the trips I made in school holidays to attend CCF camps - one crossing was so bad the police dogs onboard were sick. It was that bad!
