Manx businesses in ferry dismay

The ferry company has said deliveries to priority freight is virtually up to speed, but this still leaves local retailers in a potentially devastating economic position over the next month.

And manager of HMV in Douglas Peter McMurray expressed his dismay of a seeming complete lack of a plan B from the Steam Packet (see audio).
