We lived for a couple of years on the IoM when I worked at Manx Airlines.
We used to rent the Castle Arms(on the quay in Castletown-known locally as the Gluepot) kitchen & serve Thai food in the small restaurant upstairs.I think they had 32 covers.
TT Weeks were manic,there would be a queue to get in so I'd take names & shout out in the bar when a table came free.
I saw Germans who could barely walk get on their huge bikes & ride off.
The worst though were the French(sorry Thai Spice!),after a group had eaten they all wanted to pay separately,fucking nightmare.
