mannin1 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Is it possible to impeach the entire Gov't including Leg-Co? The place was fooked before but this new lot seem to have decided to finish the job off properly. Last one out "switch of the lights" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 This is the trademarked TT logo, nothing like what Bushy's and several others are using. I can't see how the IoM Govt. have the rights to the letters "TT"? There is a TT car race held every year since 1905, a Dutch TT, an Australian TT, a Swedish TT. and in fact an Audi TT!! If Bushy's were using this brand logo, I could understand the objection but the TT belongs to the people of the Island and the use of the letters should not be copyrighted!

NoTail Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I think that the government would have a very small chance of winning a case if taken to court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GD4ELI Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Quoting Rob Callister, MHK - Member for Onchan on Facebook: "I spoke to Martin Brunnschwieler who is currently off-island. Hopefully, this matter can be resolved quickly. A statement will be issued by the Department tomorrow." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Could there be some personal vendetta between DED and Bushys............, a way to try and get rid of them, thereby freeing the site/pitch to one of DEDs pet suppliers/supporters? Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this was so easily resolvable WTF did they (DED) start throwing their weight around bullying established businesses? It may be resolvable but it has created such negative and quite frankly toe curlingly bad PR. DED needs all the friends it can get all it has is lawsuits and enemies.

Whimsy Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 To the committed TT regulars, Bushy's is synonymous with the TT. They come back year after year, lots of them with Bushy's as their focus point. The prominence of Bushy's and the fun it created in the 90's is largely the reason for the renewal in the popularity of the TT since the dog days of the eighties. I bet Martin has brought a lot more TT visitors to the Island than any UK Vision 9 type promoter or the DED will ever get near. Martin should pay them a peppercorn rent of a fiver a year to use TT on his badges and DED could save face and sort the whole stupid idea out in seconds.

WTF Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 bushys should just add a little 'I' in the middle and a little 's' at the end but keep the same font for the 'T's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gettafa Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Perhaps it's easy to resolve because Rob Callister has spoken. Shame, when you see that Bushy's tent is as much a significant icon of the TT than anything, absolutely anything, else. Things like 'TTent' and 'TramTastic' will have got the gov boys frothing. Knobheads. Martin should stick with 'Bushy's' and the fox thing and expand on that. With sensible head on I think Bushy's should just back off. They won't win this one. The legal system and the boyos in wigs and gowns are in the Govenment's pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notwell Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Isn't the site available to anyone anyway? Or does Bushy's have some form of lease contract on the bottle neck car park? Storm in a tea cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
