I bet they don't care about any IOM trademarks. Mind you, it could be a nice jolly to Miami for a government bod. https://titi3d79.com/shop/isleofmantt2405?pid=dNpb8JYGt4vcSTKn&cid=Cgny2zIQpD2RQW3c&sid=2 It will be interesting to see how Facebook respond to the takedown request - though I can't help noticing that DfE have waited till after TT is over to action it. Presumably it means they can claim victory when the US company stops advertising when it was going to anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 The Dfe will not find the Miami lot as easy to bully as Looneys were, if I were Looneys I would give them to various charities to raffle then they would at least get some publicity out of it.

As you say - fine taking action now the TT is over and they’d probably stop selling TT t-shirts online anyway as anyone wanting one will have already bought it.

the stinking enigma Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 We could do with sending a 10 strong delegation out to Miami for a couple of months to make sure none of their shops are ripping us off. On a point of principle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the stinking enigma Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 This would be work. Not holiday. Though Rob could always pay for the missus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing that when it suits them to justify ridiculous expenditure the first thing they cite is publicity ...... this will certainly get publicity..... bad publicity, how do you value that on the balance sheet ? I hope Miami tell them to eff off !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I could IoMG being made to look very, very arrogant and stupid over this. Or coming out of it a lot worse off financially by the time the briefs have had their considerable bit. Or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would not be allowable anywhere else under conflict of interest rules. He's not a licence holder - that's why he changed the name of his business 2 years ago it was TTinspirations - but still he knocks out TT tat with no recourse....

The continued bolstering of their egos by the highly paid and pensioned officials in the Civil Service makes them actually believe they are so very wonderful and brainy and that. They believe their thoughts when they stood for election that they are indeed superior human beings. And yes, we are all, ipso dipso, daft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure he does to be fair to him. I remember shopping at Manx Inspirations in Union Mills, so maybe you are a little confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
