I've seen another video of the taxi driver from the delivery drivers view, from what I could make out the taxi driver was asking for a "chat" down the side street too. Proper professional driver him. Sorry don't have a link to it, you'll just have to imagine it for now.

Ahh, "Head Bandit, now is that a job description or job title?

I can see it being driven as a requirement by insurance companies. It might even be a requirement soon to have a valid certificate to drive that vehicle on UK roads. As has been said though, MOT = bollox. I've brought a good few vehicles over from the UK now with MOT's less that a couple of months old, and I wouldn't of been cheeky enough to bring them to our test centre they were so bad. It's all to easy across to pay a mate with a garage to just issue the cert.

50 years I've been listening to Manx Radio, 35 of those actually on purpose. I've done 2 mornings with the new layout, there isn't going to be a third. What utter tripe. I'm certain they won't care, but I won't be listening again. If i was an advertiser paying for morning slots, which by the way seem to of increased I'd be wondering what I was expecting to return.

Have to agree. Professionalism seams to have long passed. No one gives a s**t anymore. The carry on at 7:15 each morning with Chris Williams and Co. is absolutely embarrassing. Not entirely sure what they are trying to produce. And my all time hate is Caine trying to pronounce names in their mother tongue. Nothing short of pure cringeworthiness. Like a scene from the Fast Show. Eth eth eth eth, eth eth eth eth.

Did you listen to him? Rambling nutjob.

I don't ever remember Manx Radio getting any stick until some staff that used to work there decided that they could do a better job themselves, and went off and set up their own stations. Then it almost seems that they found out by accident that this takes quite a bit of work and money, so complained bitterly ever since that the playing field wasn't fair because Manx Radio was getting a leg up from the Government. (Just like it did when these guys worked there).

Best of luck to you both. Looking forward to the 12th

in the garage i worked in through the late eighties (Popular island Ford dealership) it was Radio Nova all day

I just thought that by not being employed by Manx Radio, he'd be it bit more "vicious" in his interviewing/reporting. A little bit Paxman. Not to be. Side-bread-buttered-knowledge.
