Douglas Council has given up attempting to arrange a presentation ceremony to formally confer the freedom of the borough on cycling superstar Mark Cavendish.
After well over two years of talking to agents to try and agree a mutually convenient date, it's been decided to hang the specially commissioned illuminated address in the town hall, and wait for Cav to get in touch.
Leader of the council David Christian says it's disappointing, and something of a slur:
Further delay to TT schedule due to 'non-racing operational matter'
Clerk of the Course confirms change to proceedings
Crash which closed the Mountain Road ahead of racing 'not too serious'
Police give update after incident at Brandywell delays TT schedule
Fine for pair who brought drugs to Island in campervan toilet
"I'm sure this is a wonderful TT for you all but rules are rules"
TT campers in 'high spirits' despite rain affecting race week
'Costa del Ballaugh' one week, mud the next
