Casino goes full steam ahead!!!

Headlines in the local rag, trouble is cruise ships are no longer steam, just as a down turn in the economy is on the cards we go for a Casino.

"It can't just be a stand-alone casino, on the seafront with a lot of one-armed bandits, it's got to be a cruise ship experience," he said. "That's why the talk of a referendum is so much nonsense because we first want to see what it is on offer.

"Torbay is the only major seaside resort in the region to get this opportunity, and we have got a lot of people interested in the Mayoral Vision proposals. I have had to turn down several offers of hospitality from operators as the process has got to be absolutely open and fair. We can't just say we have got a preferred operator, we have got to select the best deal for Torbay."

I suspect Torquay is the only place around here that wants a Casino, will it bring jobs, don't hold your breath.
