Albert Tatlock Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 All down to gravity. Given the number of people killed by gravity every year a campaign to ban it is long overdue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share Posted September 2, 2019 No chance, they are now eyeing up the next election so there will be nothing sorted out that will upset the voters so means testing etc will be shelved again and anything else faintly controversial.

Roger Mexico Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Some more information has now surfaced om Manx Radio: Quote The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company has responded, following claims multiple motorbikes and cars were damaged during a sailing to the UK on Saturday (31 Aug). Pictures were shared on social media of a number of bikes on their sides - reportedly moved from their parking positions following rough conditions in the Irish Sea. It's alleged they were attached to the railing at the side of the car deck, but then broke free. In a statement, the Steam Packet confirmed that: "some damage was caused to a few bikes and some cars on Saturday." The company says: "we are dealing directly with those passengers involved." Which suggests they are indeed covering the damage. That makes sense if you think about it - a shipping company is responsible for how its cargo is stowed.

WTF Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 it seems they were tied up correctly but the bar they were tied to let go of the boat, so whether you'd tied them yourself or racket staff had done it if the boat starts dropping to bits there isn't much you could do about it.
