    On a temporary basis the Town Hall will be closed between 13.00 and 14.00 daily.
    This decision has been made following a sustained period of antisocial behaviour by a small number of Secondary School pupils which is now committing significant time from both Commissioners employees and input from the Constabulary.
     

    Perhaps they’re protesting about something.

    I don't recall Argos in there but I think it was previously Etams and an amusments before that Barry Nobles?) and before that I think it was Lipton's with an upstairs restaurant/cafe.

    I think someone sold goods from Argos over herein the late 1990s. Argos catalogues we’re distributed. What went wrong I don't know. Possibly goods didn’t arrive. I was told by a senior manager that Argos would in no circumstances ever have a presence on IoM

  5. I am nor sure how relevant this is so I post it for information purposes. It had been proposed that the new access road to the Terminal would also give access to flats to be developed nearby. The road originally was  was apparently exclusively for access to the terminal.

    The developers plans have been turned down and there is now to be an enquiry by the planning inspectorate.

    It's a bit of a mystery.  He was appointed as Operations Manager at Ronaldsway (and so one of Reynolds' deputies) last September.  You would have thought that someone outgoing would be all over the media, but I can find nothing since.  I can't find anything Manx on his Twitter, just a lot of russophile stuff - though he seems to keep his professional and media profiles separate (I couldn't find his job before coming here).  The only evidence he is still here is that he's giving a talk to Rotary next month.

    But then Reynolds herself has been uncharacteristically quiet recently.  The motto at the Airport now seems to be 'Never apologise, never explain".

    Is this the gentleman referred to here?
