] Date Posted: 14:23:40 11/26/04 Fri In reply to: Jim (Canada) 's message, "Many thanks, I should do that" on 03:17:27 11/26/04 Fri Twice daily flights from Liverpool, you know. It only takes half an hour, so by the time you've finished your G&T you're touching down on the island. But yes, the distinctiveness of the four British cultures is very evident in the Isle of Man, without any of them being mixed up together. I was there over the summer (we have a place there, my parents being evil tax-exiles!), and I remember one evening in particular. We had been watching an outdoor performance of Shakespeare, so qunitessentially English; it was done in the ruins of a Viking-Irish castle; as we left, a lone Scots bagpiper played on the ramparts in the gathering twilight; and coming down the steps we could just about make out Wales across the sea in the last of the light. Well worth a visit, that place. Oh, and there are no licensing laws, so the pubs never close! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
