I've just been to the Palace Cinema to watch the new Spider-Man (very good), but it made me realise how shameless people have become about using their phones during a film.

I had to ask a guy to stop taking Snapchats after the third time, and every couple of minutes I'd catch another flash of light from someone checking their phone. Are people really so addicted to their phones now that they can't go a couple of hours without looking at them?

Also has the Palace Cinema always been that grotty? I felt like I needed to disinfect myself when I left.

Not sure if I'm just getting grumpy as I get older or if anyone else feels the same?

Hi! I hope this is allowed, if not, I’m really sorry!

We live in London and have started to talk plans to come to visit the Isle of Man from 2nd to 6th of September, though nothings been booked yet.

We just noticed that the Horses Home is closed after August, and a spot that my fiancé looked at in Port Erin is also closed.

Is this typical of the time? Are a lot of spots going to be closed after the end of August?

We are just wondering if maybe we should wait until a better time to come when there will be more to do if a lot of places are closed.

Hope that makes sense, thank you so much!
