The craic was 90 on the isle of man.
The Isle of Man was a neutral place in the 70’s and 80’s where in the summer Northerners and Republicans could meet and forget about the “troubles”. At least for a week or two.
We have family on both sides so...
I cant remember which side of the family claimed some heritage from the Isle Of Man..but I’d bet that those who do are fairly rare.
I do remember my manx cats!
