We can throw 30+ million on a new sea terminal in Liverpool that will have limited use for freight but not encourage an airline to base themselves here and get a half decent slot in LHR. So no, there's no transport strategy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is odd, because it's been exactly the same price in Shoprite and everywhere else for well over a year now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although to be honest, we should all know that the chances of any Manx-produced agricultural or dairy product actually falling in price are equivalent to the finding of talking mongoose turds.

Holte End Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I wonder if it is anything to do with the new industry that appears to be on the horizon if any of these monies will be utitilies. Will Liverpudlian techical advisers on relocation funding be brought in to teach locals about the specialised agricultural farming in local houses Special education on how to bypass smart electric meters to stop those high lighting bills and crop rotation in the different rooms of the house. The Ilse of Man where you can get high, highest prices for Gas, highest prices for electricity, just about the highest prices for everything anywhere.

Rushen Spy is correct. I've no idea what the equivalent would cost on the IoM but £600 pcm will get you a 1 double-bed flat + lounge + bathroom + kitchen so not like for like, the same dosh in Central Douglas gets you much more https://manxliving.com/search-result/page/2/?search_property_type=rent&search_type&search_keywords&search_bedroom&search_agent&search_price=0%3B600 This is where any comparison becomes a complete nonsense. Accomodation in London is scarce hence exploitation is rife. Rooms are partitioned and so forth and really squalid but the tenants daren't complain due to lack of alternatives. They also sign away their basic tenancy rights because it's "engineered" as being something other than a short term tenancy. Basically they get away with it because of the size of the problem. Hence: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/jan/25/london-tenants-rights-rent-controls-sadiq-khan You couldn't, or shouldn't, be able to get away with such practices in Douglas.....
