Re: A run on Metro bank

I remember the Isle of Man from a couple of visits to the TT races and a trip to the Manx Grand Prix in the early 60's. It was what it was. Overpriced even then but when you're young and hooked on the smell of hot Castrol R -----

Went back for a short trip 2005.

What a hole it had become. Dirty, rude people, VERY overpriced and the hotel that we stayed in, supposedly one of the best and mega costly, smelled of stale piddle in every room.

We travelled to the place by sea but that was so bad, it was like a cattle boat, we 'ate' the return ticket and flew instead. No doubt if BREXIT results in their reliance on tax dodgers and very iffy financial services crapping out the Manx government will be coming cap in hand begging to be bailed out.

Well sod them say I.
