I love islands, but I have never been to Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Wight...I went to Orkney cos I lived near there, I go to the Scottish Islands for the same reason...I go to the Isle of Man, because I first went for the TT.
Now I love the place, but I would never have dreamt of going to the kind of touristy place it was when I first visited (Blackpool on an Island)except for the romance of the TT.
Just a thought...is it really Blackpool on speed...oooooh, sorry, I'll go now...
