My new favourite… for 2 reasons. are they really that incompetent, that they can’t post a social media post correctly

He is an employee of H&B . Possibly why he is so passionate about it

Isn’t there a local councillor on H&B books, who likes to close roads out side H&B pubs, at the expense of other already established Sports bars like Jaks or 1886

New Ramsey Tesco express looks great. Unfortunately it’s stocked to be multiple the sales it’s capable of achieving. more reduced to clear than normal sales. Will give it 18 months unless keeping as a loss maker

The price charged on the till is higher than it was a week ago 🙄

Yep, exactly this.

It’s a hospitality business where customers are an after thought, if they only put customers first they would grow that business, I know dozen of people who will go around Douglas and avoid Brewery pubs at all cost and only support free houses. Bucknals are still trading although small in comparison and Agrimark used to do kegs although not sure if they still do.

Possibly one of the biggest factors in the decline of hospitality on island is H&B. Places like Peel with no H&B pubs seem to always be busy

H&B sneaking in first of their pre TT rises, and to be closely followed by their min wage rise

Exactly this especially pub staff heading home, a lot won’t have disposable income for a car and will rely on taxis, making it even more challenging for hospitality sector to recruit

Agree, although what will happen is people leave pubs hour earlier people leave at same time and get last bus home more people just stay at home it’s appears from Facebook lot hard working taxi drivers don’t want this change, although also to be fair they not had a raise in a whilst

I’ve always thought what’s raised on island stays on island. the rebate is for items purchased online/UK where Vat is charged at Source.

I’m genuinely confused on this one whats paid to HMRC? VAT on island is paid to IOM custom and excise? fuel duty on island is paid to IOM custom and excise? income tax is paid to iom tax office ?

What taxes are not Manx? vat raised locally is, income tax is and so is fuel duty

You know that, and I know that, unfortunately those in charge are clueless. will sadly keep more people at home on on busses

Except for Goverment taking 20% of the fair in VAT, a massive slice in fuel duty, and income tax off the drives. higher the fair, the higher the government ££

Unfortunately Syrian refugees were the wrong colour for the Racist Westminster establishment

Just wait until the min wage rise hits H&B pubs and prices jump again too

I’m sure this months cut in take home salary due to increase in Tax, will have a negative impact on Restaurants and eating out, as people look to have to save even more money.

Unfortunately It doesn’t when have drivers tied up on longer out of trips out of town, costing them more to deliver then they can charge, and potentially complaints and cold pizza when it arrives.

Wetherspoons are closing in large cities as not breaking even, they also reply on the people on the dole who want a cheap pint for breakfast, I’m not sure there will a a day time market for them here, just look at all the pubs that no longer open in the day as there is no business for them. Uber - isn’t cheap, can be more expensive than a normal taxi at peak periods, if the attraction is the App, then elegance have or had one nandos is nothing special, better food and atmosphere in Barbary coast, at a similar price, passed 2 Nando’s recently when off island and both almost empty, what will keep teenagers on island is more affordable housing, more affordable and more importantly more reliable transportation for weekends away.

Biggest asset was the linkspan as with out that company value was almost zero

Definitely one way to support local by fraudulent ripping off Uk companies feel sorry for the MHK though, as regardless of how they got together, she seems to be a good MHK

He been dipping his dick elsewhere? Is that the peel MHK rumours?

Agree , although unfortunately can be a distraction to the day job , which would is sad given how good she is
