hissingsid Posted September 14, 2018 Author Share Posted September 14, 2018 I think it will be great, much needed, it would have collapsed soon the state it was in. It was the chosen subject on TH today, it was amazing how many structural engineers came on, experts all, why they are bitching about it now is beyond comprehension, it is a done deal, it is starting on Monday...fact as dear Frank would say,. Suck it up and enjoy life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted September 15, 2018 Author Share Posted September 15, 2018 Should have been sorted years ago, heaven knows what is under there, not a lot I would imagine. The Frank I was referring to is the star of TH and usually finishes his observations with ....Fact !!! Of course it will be over estimate and take longer but ar least it is getting started. New promenade, our own boats now we just need to talk the Island up instead of being so negative. To be honest I would rather see the money spent on these positive ventures than see it dribbled away bit by bit on nonsensical projects as it has been over many years, money spent but little or nothing to show for it.

hissingsid Posted September 15, 2018 Author Share Posted September 15, 2018 Well that and the ridiculous salt and pepper towers on Laxey bridge, lots of stupid little things that slip by without being noticed. And think of the entertainment we will have rant and moan wise Stu will have to have two extra hours each day to accommodate the righteous indignation because someone was delayed by 30 seconds on their way to nowhere in particular.

Properties appears to be a Jersey Company controlled by a David Monks of Glen Auldyn. Construction is owned by Colas, part of Shell T&T. Is there a connection, or is it a woody fake fact?
