So that is one down two to go. I apologise in advance for this, but, like 'Flatearthers' anyone who says 'Down North' loses any credence for me. Look at any globe or map.....which way is North. It is simply UP!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being truly Manx isn't based on whether you say "up North" or "down North". It's whether you are perpetually arguing about it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
