'Moain y yiarrey', or cutting peat for fuel, was widespread on the Isle of Man, but was banned in 2020🔥
Previous legislation dates back to 1577, and defines to time of year and day that cutting could take place. One of the reasons given was to stop the stealing of peat under cover of darkness!

Januarys word is 'Bree', which means energy, I've gone for the Energy from Waste plant. my best guess at the pronunciation of the whole phrase is:
𝑠𝑜-𝑒𝑟-𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑟𝑑 𝑏𝑟𝑒𝑒 𝑣𝑒𝑖 𝑜𝑟𝑐ℎ
