MilitantDogOwner Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 For the rest of us - people involved in transport, retailing, catering and hospitality - the TT is a godsend. I wonder, do you make so little, that the extra you make over the TT fortnight (above and beyond what you would make on a normal fortnight) that it really is a god send, or just some extra spending money?

Evil Goblin Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 For the rest of us - people involved in transport, retailing, catering and hospitality - the TT is a godsend. A few deaths (residents or otherwise) are a price well worth paying so that he can have an extra £100 in his pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonan3 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 My arrows appear to have penetrated the caves of the trolls! The extra I earn is a godsend - it helped to pay a number of bills. Just as important, however, is the fact that the visitors to the TT, even when they've been drinking, are never as abusive or ill-mannered as the local drunks. As for the 'few deaths' mentioned so casually by Vile Goblin - that subject is already available for debate on other threads and only a somewhat twisted troll would think it appropriate to mention it one started by someone expressing thanks for the warm welcome received.

Evil Goblin Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I notice that you haven't denied the truth of the statement. And BTW, I don't live in a cave - I live under a very nice stone under the arches of the stone bridge in Ramsey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the point I'm trying to make, surely while a bonus, would you get by with out the TT. Does the extra you make during TT, over your normal income, make a difference over the year? In other words would you be destitute without the extra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonan3 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 But the point I'm trying to make, surely while a bonus, would you get by with out the TT. Possibly... although I'd rather not have to try. Does the extra you make during TT, over your normal income, make a difference over the year? Yes. In other words would you be destitute without the extra? Not necessarily... but see the answer to first point. In simple terms, as almost every taxi driver will tell you, it is just about the only time when working very long hours is truly justified. I'd suggest that our TT visitors are more generous than the likes of yourself - not just in financial terms, but in spirit as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilitantDogOwner Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Are both the same person? Afraid not. I was looking at the TT from the financial perspective, mainly from Lonan3's comment about those affected financially by the TT i.e. a taxi driver, rather than an office based worker such as myself. I havent mentioned deaths or accidents in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was mearly enquiring as to financial gains above and beyond a normal fortnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
