Sign in Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 It would have been so much cheaper and simpler if the Lt Gov did the presentation instead of Camilla and her entourage. However, its done now, but what benefits do we gain from this City status? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill1977 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) I’m going to Douglas later to make my own declaration. It will be named the UKs first official S*ity and given S**thole status. See you there. Edited March 21 by Bill1977 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess our climate emergency only applies to poor people then. I blame the (now) City Fathers. If they hadn't applied for city status then no one would have turned up and the planet would have been saved. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
