Amongst other names But yeah, its an Island, so its commonly referred to as that..
pmsl I wasn't being facetious Monkey , it just sounds odd (and interesting )to me being from all the way up here in Manchester to refer to it as just 'the island' - its just a regional colloquialism then - if I said the 'island' to someone up here - they wouldn't have a clue which one I was talking about! possibly the Isle of Mann or Anglesy
I spent the hot summer of...was it 76? the really hot one..on the Isle of Wight..one of the best hols ever
