    Don't like Coke or Pepsi very much. The only fizzy pop I drink is Vimto.

    Takes me back to sitting outside a pub as a kid while my parents had a couple inside.

    (Usually The Wolds or Test Match in Bridgford).

    Have had a few Macdonalds but wouldn't go out of my way to get one.

    Not had holiday for over two years now due to the health thing,,,and 13years since i visited the IOM ,,,Still many reasons not to visit Spain.....so IOM may be my next holiday eventually,,whats the restrictions like over there now WB?

    Hi Ben,

    Only residents allowed in and we have to self isolate for 14 days when we get back from visits across.

    A few key workers have been let in but they have to follow strict guidelines (5 specialist welders were jailed a couple of weeks ago after they went to the supermarket on arrival to get some beers!).

    Daily life is just the same for everyone else, pretty much the same as before covid, no restrictions apart from the return from holidays/visiting relatives. Must say nothing has changed for us. Maybe we would have had a short break to UK but it will wait.

    Look after yourself...

    Lovely day yesterday - Mrs WB's birthday. Steam train from Douglas to Port Erin. Lovely weather so fish and chips on Port Erin front then back on train for a beer (or two) on Douglas Quayside. We're not much into pubs but that just rounded the day off nicely.

    Just as a matter of interest does anyone know of anyone that has had covid19 everyone I speak to says no. 

    My next door neighbour died from contracting Covid. He was the second person to die on the Isle of Man from the virus. He was a taxi driver. His death certainly made the residents of our little Avenue become very conscientious as he was not very old, only in his sixties.

    This is the latest from Isle of Man government... some restrictions are being relaxed but not social distancing. (The 16 deaths in the community are all from one private care home which has now been taken over by the Manx national health service).
