Default Isle of wight

Is it right that all the militaria dealers on the island are going to be tagged?

Are you asking if the statement is true, or if it is the right and proper thing to do?

No, I think it is Bob trying to get a rise out of a certain someone [me].

On a serious note, not really a brilliant idea to test the 'contact ap' here, as we have a population made up mainly of the elderly [no Bob, not me] who don't have smartphones, and conspiracy theorists [yes Bob, me] who wouldn't use it anyway.

Agree with CI, very high retired population some of whom will still stay at home, my mother hasn't been out the door for seven weeks, and they say 50% will need to use the app. There is method in the madness, my daughter who works at the Islands hospital says we have one of the lowest case rates in the UK per population so on that note, someone has to go first!

I personally think that everyone on the Isle of Wight should be tagged but then again, I also think that all extremists should be hung, drawn and quartered, so what do I know?

Well that’s a sweeping statement
The isolation getting to you? Hard work when you have no friends to bring you food.

It was a joke and the clue was in the 'extremist' remark.

Forgive me but I was traumatised by a wet fortnight spent at Blackgang Chine as a nine year old and never want to see another fibreglass dinosaur as long as I live.

Hi Mike, no specific emporium, the odd antique and curio shop that carry a few items but that's about it. There are a couple of dealers but they work from home using the interweb. Regards Mark

Caveat, to my knowledge!

Best not think about coming here for your holidays then.

Does no one have a sense of humour on the Isle of Wight, you all seem a tad sensitive?
