I've drawn up a suggested complaint form and am happy to trudge around Douglas and try to persuade some of the photocopy shops to roll off copies at a discount. Can I get a copy of the form to you thewitch before I embark upon this? Have you any thoughts on where the forms could be put for people to collect one and fill it in? The Grandstand seems a good place to start, but we will need some cooperation so completed forms can be handed back in and kept until collected for onward transmission. Personally, I think they should ultimately be delivered to the Government with a call for an inquiry into the Steam Packet's trading practices. But it is important the form makes it clear where it will end up and that it is not a compensation claim form. None of this will resolve the difficulties of those about to travel, I appreciate.
It's tempting of course to ask the Steam Packet to distribute the forms................
I read their terms and conditions about the right to change sailings etc, but I am not sure if such a contract term has any legal standing as I think ferries fall into a different category to, for example, areoplanes. I would have to try and look that one up.
As regards a simple petition eg."We, the undersigned, call upon the Government of the Isle of Man to set up a public inquiry into the trading practices of the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company, with particular reference to their operation during TT 2007", this would give a lot of people who are not directly affected the chance to add their support. Could marshalls help here? Could they hand out the petition just after roads close and ask people simply to pass it round and hand it back at the end of the session? There would of course be the problem of people signing more than once, but the majority would hopefully apply commonsense.
