Sat 16 Jan - If I head down to my local coffee shop it doesn't take long before the question comes forth from someone sitting on the unique tree stump chairs - so why is this State in such a mess?

I am not having a go at the new operator, and indeed we all wish them all the best in delivering the best possible ferry service, but the tender has ensured that the odds are stacked against them...
