No need to build or maintain them. Put a wind turbine on the Manxman and it can sneak through in disguise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to build or maintain them. Silly Billy. Do you not think the price you pay has to cover the maintenance ? Or do you think they give that bit away for free?

Happier diner Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Haven't the nit wits at Manx Radio and a few on here misunderstood the statement. £40M is the total cost of all the options. You don't choose all the options. You choose the best option. It's like saying I went into the Chinese and the menu said it was £650. No you plonker. You just choose 1 thing.

That may be so but we all know the final cost will be many multiples of 40 million! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's argue about the costs and pay double again. 4 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is Scard. No extra S. I'm glad you said that, it's been pissing me off every time I hear this imaginary place 'Scards' being mentioned. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0bserver Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 The word unknown appears in that document 6 times. It gives me a feeling of Liverpool Landing Stage. I don't have any objection to wind farms being built, I just wish it wasn't MUA or any other IOM Government Qango building it. The killer will, as usual be something like: Some members of the ODM Team were willing to make the deicions on cost alone. However, it was noted that there were unknown costs in mitigating additional unknown ecological risks 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
