After promising never to respond to this garrulous Gorse Lea gossip since Cargo violated my confidentiality recently, I have relented and decided to do something positive for this superannuated band of metabolically challenged TT enthusiasts. I have just inked a contract with a major soft drink manufacture for a three year sponsorship deal for the Gorse Lea site. In respect for their total abstinence and absence from their families they have offered to provide a nearly new bench for their comfort between races. We are currently in the process of disassembling the bench and making arrangement for it to be sea freighted to the IOM in time for the MGP. The marketing manager for the sponsors told me that the bench will be repacked and freighted to London in time for the next Olympics so they hope it will not be overloaded during its time on the Island.
