Banned for life

Saturday, March 21, 2009

Read the peculiar story of a BBC journalist who unknowingly betrayed the confidence of an island secret 25 years ago.

Things which piqued my interested: the islands use words like “ganzeys” for jumpers/jerseys/pullovers which my mother uses but not many others I’ve ever met; and the fact that during the War the island was officially classified as a ship called “HMS Atlantic Isle.” Which is pretty cool!
