No more NIMBY,s Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Why oh why would anyone buy Manx meat or cheese anyway. Ridiculously expensive and very poor quality. It’s about time they allowed proper imports of decent meat and stopped subsidizing shopshite to provide the local shite. The sooner that place goes and we get a proper store like Asda here the better. Just imagine how much quieter the planning committee would be if it didn’t have IOME objecting to any competition.

Donald Trumps Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Thing is everyone knows - well maybe apart from some #ClubTynwald members who don't know how to go food shopping - that local meat & cheese is relatively highly priced here to get the 'Manx' factor but is discounted from these prices elsewhere off island Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Available cheaper in Liverpool last time I visited. Amazing things, these captive markets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more NIMBY,s Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I don’t give a shit about whether shopshite stock Iceland, waitrose or sainsburys as 99% of our shopping comes from a proper supermarket with sensible pricing. I do give a shit about the ridiculous so called subsidies for overpriced and poor quality meat and other local produce when it is also touted as being reasonable priced and high quality. Don’t even get me started on the poor standard, quick deterioration and outrageously priced Manx bread! And whilst I,m at it why can Robinson’s only supply the supermarkets with over ripe produce? And breathe....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
