  1. Yes, it was moored off Port Grenaugh for a while in the late 80s. The name will come to me. Manannan? That was the boat, it was thinking of the name of the builder/owner. David something. Peter Rattray if iirc. Had a company over here based in Spring Valley called Mannanin too i think. Think you're right. I thought it was David Rattrey. You're right. I've edited my post.

  3. Bought from Braddan Commissioners. No it wasn't. It has been bought from a private company. Braddan comms has never owned it. http://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/isle-of-man-news/offers-invited-for-old-port-soderick-hotel-1-6755428
  4. Is the £50 charge going to be levied on properties with their own septic tank and no other connection to the sewerage system?
  5. You must be the same era as me, as I was about to mention them after reading this great thread. Also Mr Ian (English) Stuart, and there was an English-teaching Mrs Teare who was married to Mr Peter (woodwork) Teare. Harry Taverner, of course, who was Head when the wonderful Wally Callister was deputy. Yes same era ( class? ) There was the R.E. teacher who taught everything apart from R.E. I think she married a pupil in the end and becames Mrs Epplestone, I can't remember her original married name. Then there were the teachers that didn't quite have full control of their pupils, was it Miss/Ms Josiah-? and Blakey - french. They were all good looking back but Geoff Corke - Physics was the best. There's only Peter Teare I don't have fond memories of. That would be Miss Jones. Unofficial sex ed was the R.E. classes she used to take. Geoff Cork was my form teacher 2nd year, 1980, he was great, ever had the slipper from Ma Robberts? Frank Moretta was dead on too. Helped get me out of some sticky situations. Just thought of Topper Teare, chemistry. Made me laugh how he used to bounce round the lab.
