In response to Hilary M what is Neil supposed to do? He's asked a question about the TT should he refuse to answer? That would send out IMO a worse message than the response he gave. As long as he lives there he'll always be asked about it

I know when Neil first went to the island it was for tax purposes but I believe he's genuinely in love with the place now and has made many friends.

He's also a heck of a lot richer now than when he first moved to the IOM and could easily have gone elsewhere especially to warmer climbs.

If he starts getting the stick he claims Steve Hislop got when he lived there then don't be surprised if Neil decides to leave!
