Morning MV I hope you and the good lady are well?

To answer your questions, although speaking for myself only here. I am sure the people of the IOM will find this a huge pain in the backside as being a 'Part Time' Taxi Driver I hear all the comments.

However, if we ran a parallel universe for the fortnight and a local (or anyone else for that matter) had seen their or a family members life saved by the measures then I am sure the comments would be different.

As I said to Larry, no solution is perfect however if the Mountain Road were two way and the death toll happened to be huge the comments would be 'Why was it not made one way?'

At the end of the day the only part of the IOM to be one way for the fortnight is Ramsey to the Creg and there are plenty of beautiful roads on the IOM to drive to get home.

The only people that I would really think would be upset are those living in Ramsey and working in Douglas. However the IOM Govt / Police / Newspapers have been asking offices to consider letting members of staff start/leave early to try to calm things further.

Again the only Taxi Drivers I can see being bothered are those based in Ramsey and coming to Douglas when they have to return the coast road but in all honesty the disctance is really not that much more and the time to travel on the coast raod is 10 mins longer tops (unless your name is Fitz or Wood)

The other drivers, I am sure would be happy with the extra mile of two on the fare

John F,

I am sure there won't be a fleet of high speed buses, however I can get you the number of a good taxi :wink
