    1977 was the year I arrived on the Isle of Man for a 12 month job contract - I'm still here after nearly 45 years!

    Being a Round the Horne fan, I immediately thought about J. Peasemold Gruntfuttock and his desire for Judith Chalmers.

      If you arrive via a dinghy on a UK beach from Calais you get picked up and put into top quality hotels for free, given free money, meals, clothing, mobile phone , healthcare and an allowance to name but a few benefits.,

    Happier days. 7 ferries and 900,000 passengers. But 10 years earlier there were a lot more passengers.

    £25 for a coach ride ?? - You could virtually have taken a mortgage out for that in 1977 !

    £36 return on the ferry for a car back in 1970. That’s a really expensive trip! You can do it for not a great deal more today.
