H steps into the murky world of the Island's problems with dog poo. Something new? Of course not - stories abound in brown and white over the years . .

Is poor weather hampering the TT anything new? Of course not . . . it's as old as the event itself !

What else could we look at this week than TT reporting over the years!

H looks back almost 250 years to news on the Island in 1777 when the population was falling and there was a belief that some Manx laws were outdated and not fit for purpose. Bit like now really . .

As yet another deadline for restoration of the horse tram tracks along the full length of the promenade is missed, H looks back at they're somewhat chequered history . . and gasps with amazement at how many folk they used to carry back in the day!

As we get into the tourist season proper and more cruise ships arrive, H looks back at what the Island was like for tourists 100 + years ago. Better or worse?!

You may have been in it this week. Your parents may have competed . . and your grandparents. . . The Manx Music, Speech and Drama Festival has been going for generations and is of course current and old news!

H looks back at the history of the iconic building on Douglas Promenade - once grand but semi-derelict and still awaiting full re-development. Not built as a hotel of course!
