Even if it had not been re registered accounts would still not be publically avaialable as it is neither a Plc or a charity or am I missing something? I think you're right! Sorry aboout the other post. I shoulda read what you said! Doh!

According to the select committee report the accounts etc are avilable at the Tynwald Library. This is from Tynwald.org.im APPENDICES APPENDIX A MIOM Ltd: Directors’ report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2007. These will be found in the Tynwald Library APPENDIX B Isle of Man Steam Packet Company Limited Directors’ report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2007. These will be found in the Tynwald Library APPENDIX C Group Structure Chart Questions and Responses These will be found in the Tynwald Library

Air Passenger Duty in the UK was 01/04/01 to 1/2/07 £5 01/02/07 to 31/10/10 £10 01/11/10 £12 The rest of the "taxes and charges" are what the airline is charged by the airport for security/handling/landing fees etc.

I can't help but agree. The criminal appeal of a man the IOM lauded as a "millionaire resident" was a big news story at least in local circles. Frankly I'm astounded that it wasn't mentioned last week especially if the press are getting the Court lists as JW says. I know news is a lotta different things to different folks but this was a big story. FFS it was a big story when the Sunday Times Rich list was published every year! Here's the MR news page for example Landslip road is quickly back in use Diverse response from diverse groups Island to host entrepreneurs and space engineers Local heroes recognised at gala ceremony Litter pick organisers hope for big turnout Waste plant nominated for top award Don't lose your democratic right! How does the Baines appeal slot in here?

There are literally tonnes of boats that cross the Irish Sea on a daily basis for a fraction the cost of the Steam Packet. Are there indeed? Got any comparable quotes recently? I got some last year when I was trying to get me and my motorbike to Belfast. I abandoned the trip on cost grounds. It would be an eye opener for you to run a couple of dummy fares through Norfolk Line's booking system. I'm not saying that IOMSPC are cheap btw, but simply that the grass isn't that much greener. As for the latest campaign of criminal damage grafitti. It kinda reminds me of the martian grafitti in the Arnie Movie Total Recall. I keep thinking that some kind of hyper intelligent mutant is going to show us how to operate the controls of the ancient alien machinery hidden in the snaefell mines and when it fires up it will belch milk, honey and monorails from its summit.

I was there indeed. The wires etc were all for show though!
