Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

As someone who SHOULD have been going away tomorrow but had to cancel due to work and access from the Isle of Man I may find it hard to be very sympathetic.
Through gritted teeth I hope you have a great hol. Think about us back here who are missing out.

Harsh!! You don't know how lucky you are in Manchester, a quick taxi to stockport and BA to Geneva. For me to go tomorrow (As I planned), would have meant an overnight stay both on the way out and back. Turning a 7 night hol into a 9 day hol inc added costs and pressure from work. Distaff side not too happy either as, she wasn't coming on this one.
Next year I'm going to get it all sorted early. It was my own fault this year as there was a lot of considerations and we just left it too late. I got a week in Jan though. It's a long time to next season.

Michael B, it's worse than that - it took us less than an hour from touch down to front door when we came back from Saas Fee this year...
Surely the Isle of Man has its compensations: TT races, wierd cats, errr...Nigel Mansell?

Michael B, on the whole I'd say the compensations outweigh the disadvantages

Me too DG That's why I live here. Mind you if it were not the 2 kids at school and an ageing mother I would think about selling up and moving to France/Spain. Property is sooo expensive here that the equity would go a long way.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Michael B, tell me about it, I'm only 5 mins from the sea front a short distance from Bournemouth, prices here are stupid, when we moved here in '85 the house cost about 62K now its over 250K !

Mind you I have just been informed that I can get a 25% discount on the council tax due to my mothers Alzheimers, shame no one told me that 4 years ago when the symptoms started to show significantly though, it seems that if you have alzheimers the council no longer class you as a human being for tax purposes !

Talking about Mothers and daft Government logic. My mother was registered as partially sighted. She needed new and stronger glasses. The optician said if she was registerd as blind (and therefore wouldn't need glasses) she could get £30 of the cost. But as she was only partial (and would get some benefit from better glasses) she couldn't get the discount. Catch 22 or what?
Cheapest houses on IOM are about £150K for a first time buyers house. We built our house, as project managers, not physically, about 6 years back for £160K now it's about £450K+.

Sounds about right, mind you it's not just the current government that's at fault, they're all as bad as each other
