  1. The only reason for a lack of parking is the government workers. There is plenty of space for buses. More than that strip on Lord St. and it is covered. Coaches and buses only out the front. Taxi, pickup and drop off up the side in the coaches only area. It is so damn simple and cheap!
  2. The Sea Terminal is the obvious place. Virtually every bus already goes past there on the way to Lord Street. All they need to do is change a bit of signage, buses and coaches only at the front. Pick up and drop off for boat at the side.
  3. One important point that has been missed is that the bus station is a route change point. One can wait a considerable time between services. So somewhere warm and comfortable is required.
  4. EXACTLY! It is just that 95% of people don’t realise how fast 4G can be, and how slow 802 wi-fi can be. They just think faster is better.
  5. The reason traffic is so bad is the result of previous bad decisions, like effectively closing down Walpole Avenue, the one way system on North Quay, Tesco debacle, etc. Pace for pace, it is no further to walk from M&S main door than the existing bus stops. Possibly a bit more exposed, yes. However, the sea terminal is underutilized , especially in the winter. Linking public transport in this way is a no brainer. At the moment, it is like having the airport bus stops in Ballasalla. Completely stupid!
  6. Losing some of their parking hits the nail on the head! One big sign saying BUSES ONLY pretty much covers it, along with the coach parking area of the sea terminal a drop off point. Also it would help (regardless of Sea Terminal) to make Walpole Avenue one way the other (original) way. At the moment it is pointless.
  7. Why? There are two link spans. Manage it in the summer with manannan and Arrow at times.
  8. No. We have a purpose built, perfect covered area with toilets, waiting area, welcome centre, WHSmith and Costa at the Seaterminal that is begging to be used.
  9. Thing is, it would probably cost more to process and produce the FOI than the leaflets cost in the first place. FOI is a Complete waste of money.

    Or just use the fake ID you have been using for months.
  11. Quite funny really. British wine is expensive compared with most of its competitors. The answer is to sell it in smaller bottles (most likely for the same price as the competitor’s full bottle). Shrinkflation at its finest!

    RingGo

    There is one easy answer. Put the barrier and machines back. Takings are way down since Ringo. Needs to be scrapped and returned to the system that worked and was cost effective.
  13. Manxman, if cancelled, will bedue to “Woke” health and safety rules. No worries about Arrow.
  14. Should have built the new school in ballasalla where the new housing estate is, and then knocked down the old castle Rushen and built the houses there. It was suggested at the time, as Castletown has the shops, pubs and infrastructure required for houses, Ballasalla doesn’t. Schools don’t need it. Simple common sense.

    What’s the point? Just make buses free! People would use them then. Free up parking in town. Take loads of cars off the road. Less drug driving. Less congestion. No administration and accounting of fares. No brainer really. I am surprised government has not thought of it.
  16. Then is was a very frenzied attack for something with little or no motive, according to you. She was stabbed at least 28 times.
  17. Yes they work great, but cost a lot to run. More than straight forward electric heaters.
  18. Well, more people voted for brexit than voted for the current government. Or the previous one. And, the only thing wrong with brexit is the current shambles that it the uk government.
  19. More than you think. Why do you think so many europeans vacated uk when the benefits gravy train stopped?
  20. Woke definition! It is rubbish. Your made up definition basically means EVERYONE is a racist!
  21. Bollocks! It is nothing to do with demonyms
  22. The other way around. Fly / drive the sick person to uk and take them to hospital. More realist situations were bring pregnant woman to uk to have “British “ baby, for benefit purposes.
  23. I am not so keen on the French either, but they are the same race, so it is not racism.
  24. Being against unfettered immigration does not make one racist. Is being Polish a different race? French? German? It has nothing to do with race. However, it has everything to do with someone from Poland working in the uk and claiming benefits for his whole family who live in Poland, and have never contributed to uk society. Much higher rates than are paid in Poland. When they got sick, they got free treatment on the NHS. UK pensions, everything, without even living here. Is that racism? No. Ethnicity has nothing to do with it. So stop calling it racism!
