Illegal TV licence hikes take us for £400,000 (2)
Which service don't you receive Paul?
Once and for all let's get rid of this UK tax. We don't receive many of the BBC services, those we do duplicate what we receive for free.The states is...
Parking clocks must always show your time of arrival (39)
Oh! do let's get over this daft multi-storey car park idea. We have too many cars on the roads already..... I challenge anyone to say that we improve...
£75 permit for three years? Where can I get one and can I park anywhere at any time with it?
I thing it completely rediculous that this sitaution has come about at all.... How many oppuirtunities has Guernsey had to build 1 or even 2 decent...
absolute bargain! that's 48p per week!
Terry I may be wrong but I seem to remember reading that the £75 fee was for a three year permit
No jobs in UK but tutor and family must quit the island (43)
Are you saying then that everyone who ever comes to Guernsey on a licence can disregard the small print and hope that they can stay on regardless? or ...
Oh Wise One February 8, 2012 at 3:16 pm said "Sorry Sarah, Mr Carr is a tutor not a teacher. He worked at the College of FE" Staff at the CFE teach, ...
More Local Than You makes a good point, I have actually seen this happen in the 1990's. When I worked for a large bank, a Director's five year licence...
I do not understand this as it was a 5 year licence. His written contract, I would assume, had no mention of possible extensions so they were always a...
The trouble is that if the system gives in to one family or individual then it paves the way for others to challenge too. One of my colleagues is in t...
Petanque could be coming to Town – if the planners let it (6)
A great idea but I have to agree with Jeff..... the site is too out of the way. This kind of initiative should be put right into the centre of town, ...
Would have been far better to put it in front of HMV - total waste of space there. Good idea but I fear 'out of sight out of mind' may be it's prob...
I doubt that vandals would be too interested in a couple of rectangles of sand/gravel. What damage could they do? It is a great idea.
As long as they don't miss and hole an unsuspecting boat!!
Excellent idea which I'm sure will prove very popular both with the Guernsey public and the visiting tourists. I'm not sure how vandal proof you ca...
We need a multi-storey, say frustrated Town parkers (14)
"This keeps town attractive...." there would be nothing attractive about inviting more cars onto our roads and into St Peter Port whether you hide th...
I propose underground parking. This keeps town attractive and provides more spaces. I do not know where this would be possible on a practical level...
I'm sure that if people at work spoke to each other more they would find that they lived near each other - or each company could set up a scheme of ca...
Ambassadors will represent us in Biberach (3)
Well AJP. Did you expect anything else; But they did boast about their high awards from the cousins,'' Some of us will never forget.''And rewar...
I hope those young people enjoy their stay in Biberach,a beautiful little Town where they will be made most welcome.I think its about time we buried t...
Maybe they shouldn't mention the Jewish people on Guernsey that Bailiff Victor Carey gleefully sent to their deaths during the occupation. Under th...
Regulator on the case over mobile mast safety (10)
Spot on. We are victims of our own obsession with competition and the race to (rock) bottom prices. There's a cost, and it's social. Mast s...
There was actually a report some 7 or 8 years ago that concluded that Guernsey actually only needed 1 mast. However, that mast would have to be some 4...
Presumably they have to be by residential units because that's where people want to be able to use their mobile phones? Having a phone of some kind...
Martino, It would be perfectly possible to have sufficient masts to ensure an adequate service without having the outrageous density that we have on t...
I detest the bleating of the 99 per cent of anti-mast types who actually own/use mobile phones. Perhaps they would like to join forces with that equal...
Grammar Year 12s tell deputies they want comprehensive system (4)
Because the results would mean more? To use a silly example... If you were told that 80% of birds preferred Easter to Christmas, you might be surpri...
Television and washing machine dumped close to path to schools (9)
"What does the proximity to a path to schools has to do with the story" Finally finding a use for the path?
eggy bread Agreed.After the most recent outdoor CCTV shots were printed in the Press I have been keeping my eye open for suspicious looking Lego me...
What does the proximity to a path to schools has to do with the story. The issue is fly tipping, whether that's in a quiet lane or a busy footpath it...
beanjar there ARE sites that have had CCTV cameras installed......................... However bearing in mind how bad some of the images I have see...
What really amazes me is that flytippers have to go to significant effort to flytip - often more than would be required to take the item to Longue Hou...
Drunken passenger told Flybe cabin crew he wished there was a bomb on board (8)
Perhaps so next time a Flybe plane is over London they'll know where to jettison their toilet waste!
The Captain should have dropped to 10,000ft where it's safe to breathe and then instructed the cabin crew to open the doors to throw this old idiot ou...
I blame the finance sector for all this. Big bonus's to much champagne. All goes to the head. Wouldn't of happened on Aurigny!
‘Give those already here rights first’ (5)
Haven't read the full article but did Graham Guille actually suggest anything specific about what those rights, above what is there already, for local...
Good idea Mr Guille. I will be fine whatever the outcome since am more local than the rest of you. Happy days.
Agreed. I imagine there will be lots of debate on that in itself!
Good idea. Looking forward to seeing what people consider to be their rights.
Before establishing what a Local's rights are lets define LOCAL. Is some-one born here Some-one with a full local license (but born outside the is...
Chief minister will stand again (88)
I am sorry but your statement "There is no place for him on the international stage" is simply ridiculous. Any chief minister should you like them...
I have no argument with that Ray. I am only pointing out a few hard facts, that under our present system it is almost impossible to change Governme...
Slow down Gary B Let's ensure that island wide voting is a done deal in time for the 2016 election,then consider any useful add-ons Candidates s...
Gary We can only work with the system we have, the number of candidates is important for a proper election and it is up to those who are completely...
Chief minister wants younger members in the States (14)
Would it really make much difference, who got in? Guernsey used to be a place we were proud to live in, yes we were different to England and we were p...
I think it is a good idea. I think saying those in their 20s/30s are not mature enough for politics is riduclous and extremely patronising. The ma...
Child abuse survivors campaign for right to be heard (5)
I hope you get all the backing that you need, thanks for supporting these children.
Yes.....a very courageuos lady indeed. Good luck with this campaign Zibby..........a very good cause.
Two boats run into trouble (1)
I am surprised a sailing boat required towing six miles because of engine failure when there was a nice breeze.
Minister’s view on consortium’s waste option ‘ridiculous’ (3)
I'm wondering how many other destinations where surfers choose to go to take up their hobby treat sewage? A very tiny minority would be my guess. ...

Doctor ‘driven out over harassment’ by Sark Newsletter (92)

Ex-Education minister threatens legal action (196)
