There have been suggestions that the Isle of Man could have gone the way of Asterdam. Maybe it's still on the cards. The Isle of Man made a fortune through the tourist industry. We are led to believe our assets were the golden beaches, beautiful countryside and quaint villages. But it is far more likely that the biggest asset was the liberal drinking laws, and this was nicely illustrated in the song "The Crack Was Ninety In The Isle of Man". But it seems that the great Christy Moore has had that song hi-jacked and it's all about the crack in Amsterdam now: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely as not it'll be the same as it ever was, they'll accept what they're told, moan about it for a while then quickly roll over and forget about it in supine indolence. A typical example is the gas rip-off; many thousands of locals took a rather dim view of the new terms and were, by their own accounts, very angry. A demonstration of this anger was organised with much fanfare. Less than 100 people turned up... Lol. Let's hope the rabble are out in force today, for the 4th demo. 1pm for those of you thinking of going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
