Curt Stavis.
Perhaps we could try and encourage him. At least he wouldn't have as many dirty tricks from the competition.

Dont be telling tales out of school Ade but seriously i am glad your getting fitter and looking f/ward to the coming roadrace season. As for me Kells and the Southern are on my plans and besides Scarborough what the pennies will allow?

James, I have emailed both the Steam Packet Company and David Cretney (Minister of Tourism) to draw their attention to your very valid comments. There are a lot of very good things going on at the moment in relation to the TT, but the costs of travelling to and from the island (and staying here) aren't among them !

David,
with all due respect, dont you think they SHOULD be? We are all being taken for mugs simply because we care and are loyal to the TT!
I know we DO have the choice, but just because wek keep coming, doesnt mean we will keep coming. I for one am rapidly approching the time when the cost is becoming TOO prohibitive! I am rather suprised that we are faced with this response tha t the TT is wonderful and going from strength to strength, oh and the cost of getting here is nothing to do with organisers or Tourist Board! Well, I am sorry but I feel very dtrongly that it IS.
Mike
PS sorry for rant, but somebody pressed the button!!!

Not directly related but mentioned as I am a Motorcyclist, I live in Saudi Arabia and have just heard that as from 27 March, BA will be suspending their services to this country, purely for "commercial considerations". There were three return flights to both Riyadh and Jeddah weekly and the British community here is devastated. So much for loyalty to our flag carrier. We have been beating our heads against the wall "Flying the Flag", upholding our pride and not running away from terrorists. True, during the quiet seasons, the flights were often less than half full but by dropping one flight a week to each location these flights could have been viable.
Bye-bye to one of our biggest export markets outside Europe and the USA.
Maybe. RICHAR BRANSON would like to step in and also run a ferry business to the IOM!!!!!!
Sorry about the ranting but I do feel better now.
