Including the current one you've had two queens and several kings since 1765 when the UK Government forced the Dukes of Athol to sell their property, the Isle of Man, to the Crown for £70k. The original plan was to include you in the County of Cumberland, but the locals kicked off. In Cumberland. The then King George let you have a form of self government provided you did what the Lieutenant Governor told you to. Your form of self government has developed considerably since then, but you remain a crown possession. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amadeus Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 Not sure sending jewellery to a billionaire when more and more people on the island struggle with cost of living is sending the right message.

Gizo Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 You'd think he'd be happy, since the Queen is one of Amadeus' lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being looked at dubiously be a shifty jeweller as we speak, as Andrew tries to pay off yet another accuser. The jeweller is looking at it and figuring it's probably some of Edwards stage ornamentation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
