Yes Colin it is the big quys they should be after not the kids on the street.
But they have been smuggling stuff into IOM for hundreds of years.
If you have been down to Dhoon Bay area there are the remains of the smuggling gear still there. Ask Bill Snelling he will know where it is.
I think it was Brandy for the Parson then.
I know people who fly in to the north of the Island so how hard would it be to bring in anything you like.
In 2003 when I arrived at Ronaldsway we went past a small window in the corridor as we came off the plane, the window was shut and someone said you have just passed customs!!
Just my opinion but I think grog is a bigger problem.
