Good Month/Bad Month - November

Good Month

  • Bureaucrats - more red tape for them to feed on than ever before. They say bureaucrats like to cut red tape.....length ways.
  • Fans of Wales and er...Luton as Thomsonfly announce new daily flights to both Cardiff & the home of The Hatters from May 2007.
  • The Atlantic Hotel - winners of an outstanding service award from a national guide. Will the Michelin man be adding his seal of approval to Ocean in 2007?
  • Christmas light manufacturers - St Helier challenges Blackpool's Illuminations for the highest electricity bill.


  • Bad Month

  • Scarf & glove manufacturers - Jersey records it's warmest autumn in over 100 years
  • Battle of Flowers Association - loses almost £100k despite receiving £190k in taxpayers money
  • Senator Ozouf - gets a rap over the knuckles from The States for stumping up an additional £95k for The Battle,against the advice of his own team.
  • The Waterfront - David Crossland withdraws from the project. Let's hope we do not lose his knowledge and expertise for future projects. We need people like DC involved in Tourism.
  • And finally - Hotel promotion of the year. A Sicilian hotel consortium is offering a free weekend to any couple who conceive a child at one of their hotels. The catch - the proud parents have only 8-10 months to claim their prize & have to bring their little bundle of joy with them as proof!
