its not just the tt its also the mgp, normaly the other half comes out for practice week at the tt with my son, this year practce week is in term time so they cant go, saves me £400 bit its short sighted. the mgp races are also in term time. again they willhave to come back early

Now i dont know about others but my other half aint going to let me have 4 weeks holidayon my own, and she dont get one most people only get 20 days holiday a year. also  if i take my son out of school then its a £60 fine for each pearant, ive got away with it this year??

Is this not short sighted on the organisers as the young ones will take over in 10-20 years time. in 10 years time falling numbers of spectators.

But the holidays on the IOM are different and do coincide with the TT. If they moved the TT to suit our holiday period, then they would have all kinds of logistical issues with schooling during the races. Also its not just English school holidays, other countries are all different.
I would'nt expect the IOM Government to take into account our holiday period as a special case.

Its fine as is in my book, and kids grow up (Too damn quickly) and finish school soon enough.
