Clotted cream and cows.

I know they grow lots of flowers, and one of my cousins lives there - that's it.

Edit - and Jersey cows are good natured and give creamy milk.

And Jersey potatoes are tasty.

I'm on a roll now.

It's Jersey, GJ.

Of course! The Channel Islands were occupied during WW2.

Perhaps a policeman could help:

Haha Bergerac!

I recall Jim Bergerac as a bit of an anti-hero type and the show heavily displaying the islands'... Frenchness.

Tax evasion

Over priced new potatoes?

When I was a kid my Nan used to go on holiday to Jersey. She used to bring me back marcasite jewellery - I thought it must be special to the island but I just looked it up and it isn't. Just thought I'd share that with you all.

Jersey and the other channel Islands are not in the European Union so doesn't have VAT. Goods imported from there to the UK still have to have VAT added on to the cost. Items costing under £15 used to be able to be imported here without VAT but that's no longer the case.

Lillie Langtry was from there 

I've just googled Jersey and in the process learned the meaning of the word bailiwick, which I've always been meaning to look up.

are you going to share Cologne?

I kind of glazed over thb,  but broadly it's to do with administration, bailifs and all that. Jersey and co. came with William the Conqueror.

I've heard you need to be a millionaire to live there.

I know a plane crash landed at the airport last Saturday.  My sis spent a blissful 14 hours in the airport waiting to get home.    She's never flying again.

Coupla decent footballers and one of the older farming community jokes circa 1966.

Q. What makes a bull sweat?

A. A tight Jersey.

Indeed! A Jersey is also an article of clothing.

I fancied one of them so much, I still support Southampton.

My auntie goes every year and loves it. It's so close yet it's never appealed to me. I might have to give it a go though 

I still want to travel to the Isle of Wight on a hovercraft.

I was watching a programme about the Isle of Wight festival. OMG the mud  

was on the news earlier, they wouldnt let more ferries dock because of the  clog up  of mud and vehicles already on the island

But they are Royal.

A right royal rip-off! 

indeed .

My parents went to Jersey on their honeymoon.

I assume it was considered a more attractive holiday destination before the 1970's package holiday boom.

We went to Jersey on our honeymoon

Son?

The spuds are all black belts.

I know they have lots of cows and make a lot of dairy producys!

ahhh won't let me quote! but my mum and dad went to Jersey on their honeymoon too

Never been to Jersey.  Flown over it a fair few times and it looks really pretty.

All green and lush-like.

Jersey - best of both worlds..   warm weather & still part of the UK 

It's the largest of the channel islands and also my place of birth. 

It is a tax haven and a leach on the UK economy in that it doesn't really produce anything of great value yet its money filtering (and laundering) operations make its residents on average vastly richer than the normal UK citizens, who it leaches from.

It has its own language Jersias (sp?) which is dying out but resembles French more than English but is not a French dialect.  

It's very expensive for essentials like bread and milk but the nicer things like jewellery are much cheaper. 

They don't like mainland UK citizens trying to live there and buy property there - if they're not rich, that is!

Reading some of the posts above - Jersey appears to have been a popular Honeymoon destination!

Went to Jersey  with my family when I was about 10 or 11. We went there because some of my family were in  between passports and it felt like we were going abroad without needing them. I remember going on a tiny BA plane and being really disappointed with the miles flown when they were logged in my Junior Jet Club log book by one of the pilots.

It was a lovely place when we got there. Remember walking somewhere at one of those places that disappear when the tide comes in, driving round the whole island in a day, seeing brown Jersey cows and my parents buying a ton of tax-free contraband.
