Manx Govt in Cunning Plan to Confuse BA's Sale
STOP PRESS
In a cunning attempt to confuse and confound BA's imminent sale of its "loss making" arm BA Connect the Isle of Man Government has , with the tacit and wholehearted agreement of the United Nations, agreed to change its Sovereign name to THE ISLE OF LONDON.
The name transition will take place at 2359 November 5th 2006.
Coincidentally the Capital, Douglas, will be known forthwith as Hampstead-by-the-Sea.
Ronaldsway Airport will also be known as Croydon-on-the-Sands
An unnamed Goverment spokesman commented that such a move is expected to provide a massive investment from BA as its current business strategy appears to be prerequisite for all business caches centred on the London named airports where BA has a presence.
When asked for a comment on this bold move a spokesperson in Mr William Walsh's management team was quoted as "Where the hell is the Isle of Man?".
Further comment from the Isle of Man Goverment was unavailable as the spokesperson was feeding his geese.
