They were clueless, couldn’t grasp th basics of what was being proposed and are seriously hindering our growth. I am off out to support a decent hospitality business with two courses including a steak for £24. Then hopefully a few pubs as well. Going to school is not classed as a business Dave... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopek Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 ''....There are too many sh1t hospitality businesses on the rock...''. ....but if you apply the concept of 'the best will survive', the 'shit' businesses would have gone? If they are surviving, they obviously have a following to keep them going and the majority of Manx business is still going! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By including ''unnecessary' in your argument you are allowing that hospitality could, indeed, be a 'necessary' recipient of a Govt subsidy if it was so decided?

majkul Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Here's my main gripe about the guys in charge crying a river to try an make ends meet. They keep raising prices, endlessly (kinda reasonably as well, when you see how EVERYTHING has gone up in price, be it rates, energy, ingredients and all that)... yet... YET... the very last thing they put up, is the staff wages, as if *their* bills haven't gone up. Go figure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Twas ever thus though and it's part of the reason that the "poor get poorer" to quote the adage. Look at the amount of time it takes to complete deliberations, consultations and implementation of anything to do with the minimum wage, it's going to be July of this year before those latest "interim recommendations" are even brought before Tynwald. Minimum Wage recipients have had to make do and get by "for years" in the current inflationary situation which has been with us since Ukraine 2022. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
