Barlow Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) You can only call yourself Manx if you were born here, preferably at the Jane Crookall Maternity Wing where of course there is an official record. Plus also at some stage of your upbringing you have daubed anti-English slogans on people's houses/random roads and walls and that. You speak lots of manx words and say Foxdull and Andruss. And you say 'fella' a lot, as do lots and lots of people all over UK. There are known to be at least 4 true Manx people on the Isle of Man. All else is Manx(ish) Edited January 25 by Barlow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Social housing needs to go up above inflation as we've got no money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
