Sitting at home in my egg-stained vest, commenting authoritatively on things I know little about. Contributing nothing to society that I know of. Parody.
@ManxCare This is a great initiative but it is disappointing to see you giving away single use plastic bottles in contravention of Government policy (and the library has a water refill station).
@OrtDodger@BiosphereIOM The article quite clearly says it is sponsored by a company. And nobody is forcing anyone to drink from it. It is obviously better than buying plastic bottles. Stop being so negative and obtuse about every positive step, you nasty troll.
@MichaelJosem 4. Much of the rest is impractical and/or would force up the cost of the event for both stallholders and attendees to levels that would threaten the event's success.
@MichaelJosem 3. Small and in some cases one man band producers work hard to have as many good as they can (and many stay up all night on the Saturday to replenish stocks after a long day at the show) but they cannot predict footfall.
@MichaelJosem 1. There were live and interactive cookery demonstrations all day both days in the main demonstration marquee, where there was a kitchen and a compere. At least 20 producers involved.
It’s Soviet Weeks at @marksandspencer Douglas: experience the feeling of the 80s USSR as you come in from the freezing cold and stare at empty shelves. Sponsored by the Steam Packet and #StormGerrit#iom#isleofman
Standing up for the workers? @ManxRadio might ask Dr Haywood why so many people are leaving her own Department due to unaddressed bullying and health issues due to lack of resourcing.
@ronague @daffydowndilly@BiosphereIOM@MontyHalls @diverchelle Heaps. Have you heard what is going on in some parts of the world compared to here? Try living your live outside this echo chamber and looking on the brighter side of life for a change. You might actually enjoy it *

@Gedpower Well, since I am here, unusually. Only one of them will not go ahead, flying in the face of public opinion, leaving transport networks disjointed and economies affected. The other one Rishi has yet to come clean on.
Given that @BeachIsleof maintains no member database, does not take people's names and numbers on appearing at events, etc, is this just spin to justify the £40k public money it receives?
Or does the data commissioner have records of these 19k people?
Can't have it both ways.
