The Isle of Man has the unusual status of being one of the British Isles that is neither part of Great Britain nor the United Kingdom. People born here are known as 'Manx', classified as British (as opposed to English). Despite the steady integration of new residents from other countries, some locals still refer to newcomers as 'comeovers' and England as 'across'. The Queen is the Island's constitutional head of state, the Lord of Mann and she is represented here by a resident Lieutenant Governor (currently Air Marshall Ian MacFadyen). The IOM is not a full member of the European Union but has associate status. This allows Island-traders free trade with the rest of the community but means we're not liable for financial contributions nor eligible for EU grants. The IOM is not represented in the UK parliament as it has its own parliament, the Tynwald, an institution founded by the Vikings over a thousand years ago. Jul 19 02, 7:52 AM
