SF, In this context I'm not sure that the ports are more immediate concerns actually. Across government there is a need to find better ways of poli...

Would even he recognise your description of being "admired and respected in many parts of the British Isles"? I mean, traditionally we're not a terrib...

Perhaps but I would concentrate on the more immediate concerns ie. the Harbours and the Airports, let us walk first before we run. I mean the Harbour...

It is a great pity there is only one Dave Jones in the States he is a dying breed as opposed to the spineless PC Politicians throughout Great Britain....

I have a feeling that the Harbourmaster has to be a sea Captain. Certainly the present incumbents are both Captains and I recall previous holders of ...

Charlie G, You make some valid points, including identifying areas where the present service is imperfect, although one is not sure what to make of...

Laurie "...Condor are still here, unlike a number of others." Hear-hear. And their demonstrable commitment and resilience, proven over many yea...

What a good post.

Many of Condors problems are due to the fact that the fast ferrys are not all weather vessels and were also run into the ground(sea). If Condor are...

There is no detail on what type of new ferries Condor are considering for the £70 million purchase price. Are these two fast catamaran ferries, fast ...

Why no wind turbines, just seen some off the Kent coast on the Goodwin sands, they did not look that bad, but also seen the ones all over France and a...

Excellent post Mike.

Easy- Wind turbines NO!!! Wave turbines YES!!! And if we do ever produce enough power to sell to the UK charge them VAT on it at 20%.

I give up on this one! Guernsey has so much going for it with possible sources from wind, sun and tidal flow but there just doesn't seem to be the wil...

I`m told that a Nuclear Submarine can supply enough energy to provide enough electricity for a city so the easy answer is to buy a second hand nuclear...

you're right, it is always a cyclist that causes tailbacks of traffic. absolutely nothing to do with sheer numbers of cars trying to get through ju...

Spoilt by the tailbacks caused by cyclists you mean.

The sooner we get rid of finance the better,it will be a hard pill for the greed machines to take but life goes on,back to basics and family values. ...

And even when they cost us 55 grand more.

Unfortunately Guernsey is a very very expensive place to live and I am afraid it is going to get considerably more difficult for local businesses to c...

Dave Jones You are absolutely right. Only yesterday I had a call from a contractor asking me to help with a tender he was putting together for wor...

Classic example......no explicable reason to keep st Sampsons primary open but a few parents sign a petition and it stays open.

Not necessarily... The Liberation Group owns the Harbour Lights as well, and that's still as much os a dive as it ever was

As per wikipedia - 'The term gastropub, a portmanteau of gastronomy and pub..'

Sorry Soph got to disagree. Our "gastro-pub" venues might have "proper food" but it's the lack of atmosphere and the feeling of being in a dining hal...

I see change of use applications in the near future. Im sure they will all make excellent apartment blocks. That's where the money is.

I am also fed up with Virtual Pubs although the staff are more active, you cant get bad Beer or food poisoning in hyperspace, which is all part of the...

Brilliant!! Go for it!

Matt So is the CM really a CM?

Why would I want to drive a bus, it sounds rubbish : )

I had need of 2 buses at the weekend. Both were not late but 10 minutes early. I arrived at the stop with time to spare only for a passer by to tell m...

There is loads of space out west to create a new "village" with all attendant services to help employment too. The north of Guernsey is full. If...

Agree - housing needs to be spread across all parishes. My only problem with that is all those wealthy home owners in the western parishes will just ...

Same old, same old! Let's shoehorn in a whole load more developments into the North and town why don't we? Squeeze as many in as we possibly can......

develop the broken and run down vinery sites as a priority, not our nice green spaces please

Does my head in quite frankly - St. Sampson is unbelievably over populated already. Far too many houses being knocked down for several apartments o...

Such a shame. These plans had real vision and would have firstly helped support the construction industry, secondly, provided much needed housing, and...

...perhaps letting the place fall into disrepair and failing to invest the monies necessary for maintenance was all part of the plan to somehow justif...

This is only temporary and will get passed eventually on that you can be assured especially if you listened careful to the Channel TV article. So no ...

Thanks for replying John.

Great result well done! So there will be no refurbishment going ahead either. I guess the grotty old beauty salon won't be getting a makeover anytim...

Lisa have you got nothing better to do with your life than constantly run ct plus to the ground ? Do you know how to run a bus company have you ever ...

I fully agree. The environment are the real problem. When ct are gone and we are looking at what / how things got so bad, who is to blame other than t...

I agree in that the Environment should have listened to the general public's concerns in relation to the proposed new bus timetable that was construct...

Glad i was able to give you some closure

You are quite correct. I posted several months ago that Environment allowed the negotiations with the previous operator to stall thus opening the door...

There was less traffic than usual, I was comparing it to times when the roadworks aren't in place. Martina/FlybyNite, do you have some sort of issu...

Why should I change what I do due to the inadequacies of CT Plus? I'm just as entitled to my opinion as everybody who has commented here. I'm not q...

Worth thinking about I suppose.Now where did I put that spare 70M?

We could always leave it to you Alan

And rightly so should the charges go up in my opinion Guern. The States (via tax payer funds) are trying to upgrade the main drain system so that a...

Chris, I'm sorry but your post is the epitomy of snobbery and holier than thou garbage.
