Known locally as Ellan Vannin and known as devil's island in the corridors of Whitehall, this small independent country is situated in the Irish sea. It has a population of about 75 000 and is 32 miles long and 13 wide. The landscape is rich and varied with mountains, glens, fells and 100 miles of coast line. The Island boasts the oldest continual parliament in the world, Tynwald. It was introduced by the Vikings and is now into it's second millennium!

Manx A little known fact
The history of the Isle of Man is imperfectly known. It was first inhabited by British speakers, then colonized from Ireland, and later became part of the Scandinavian Lordship of the Isles until 1266, when the King of Norway ceded both Man and the Hebrides to Scotland. Hence the odd slang of words like "yessir" meaning "yourself" from Pete Devine
