HelmutX Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 "Information released as part of a Freedom of Information response says the estimated costs of handling the collisions was £1,725,380.69" ESTIMATED?....... where does £1,725,380.69 not be "estimated" at £1,730,000.00, or £1.75m...????? Where does the 0.69p come into an "estimate"? (extra donuts for those in blue?) FFS! BTW, why is this "news"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how the DoI and others are able to come up with a figure, considering they DONT usually keep statistics!

The Phantom Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 It's because it was posted exactly the same in the Mountain Watch thread. It was a quote from Manx Radio (I think) so an exact duplicate. Don't let derail any conspiracy theories you have though. We should clearly have the same topic duplicated multiple times in various different threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Tatlock Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 So dealing with 5 fatal casualties costs two thirds of the annual police budget? Accurate estimates...my arse. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
