Declan Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Are the Sayles on the Isle of Man related to the fictional Sayles in a Thriller? Is that what you are asking? If so I don't know the answer. But Alexei Sayle's Granddad was Manx, if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollag Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 There was a strong link between the cornish and the manx via the herring and mining industries, the classic manx fishing boat the Nicky is thought to be of cornish influence and named for the manx nickname for cornishmen "nickies" short for nicholas. I read somewhere that Alexi had a manx father off the steam packet and a lithuanian mother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
