But that income stream is being bought for the equivalent amount up front. Isn't it? So no net effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The final step for the island into oblivion. I tend to think a place’s identity is what happens 52 weeks of the year not 2 and defined by how the rest of the world sees it. I agree the TT is an element of the Manx identity and for some a massive part of it, but it wouldn’t destroy the Island’s identity if it ended.

Declan Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 To be honest when I think of Monaco I think of Sun, Sea, Grace Kelly, Herbie and the Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo before those things. Just I really think of tax dodgers and biking codgers when I think of the Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
