I've been going to the TTs about 9 times since 1990 and I have wanted to live there since 2008 when I took my Dad there for the Manx. I was there in 2019 for the Classics and have been getting to know people and I do want to keep my promise to myself and move. One of these days!!
Interesting clip! So happens my grandfather's family all left the island by the early 1900's. They settled in Rhode Island and later spread to Ohio and New Jersey. Not sure what prompted them to all eventually leave. Maybe it was the tourist crowds? Also, many of them found mates in north Wales and brought them back to the island. It might be that some of these recent ancestors of mine realized that the population of the island may have actually been suffering from a degree of inbreeding, too many cousins, etc.. If this was the reason, kudos to their mindfulness to look for outside blood to bring in. To my knowledge, only one of our American branch has visited Man in many decades. I may like to visit at some point myself and see the old neighborhoods where a large portion of my genes were cultivated.
Laa Tinvaal Sonney Diu! Happy Tynwald Day! What an excellent video this was. I learnt a lot of entirely new and fascinating things about one of my favourite places on Earth. Vielen Dank :)
Good piece. IoM TT2021 had unfortunately now been cancelled - ClassicTT & Manx GP are currently scheduled to go ahead. 🤞 N.B. The Southern100 is known as the friendly races & again has an open paddock . 👍
Sorry to disapoint you but "The oldest recorded parliament still in existence is the Althing, the ruling legislative body of Iceland. It was founded in 930 and originally consisted of 39 local chieftains. Abolished in 1800, it was restored by Denmark in 1843."
Smashing video thanks. Only one thing, we aren'r a Viking island, they were " comeovers ". We're a Celt island, sorry to be pedantic. Keep up the good work.
I hope it would be reasonable to live there, renting as wellas buying a place to live. I am considering it as it does seem green with a heap of rain! (and maybe show in Winter?
Hello Frank, Your videos are so informative and honest. Can you please tell me about the opportunities of Business there? How are the real estate prices? What is the process to Buy Real Estate for people from other Origin? I am an Indian, Can I buy a property there? What are the prices? Can you make a detailed video on Real Estate?
You missed out an important detail, regarding the TT, and that is the number of people who are killed, every year, and not all of them competitors or even on race days.
I've been looking into it trust me, but I only have one question. HoW do you even afford living there? As far as I'm concerned a box could probably cost a arm and a leg. Am I wrong?

Tourist crowds in the early 1900s?? On the Isle of Man???

Thank you for making this video, I’m a TT fan but nice to see the everyday life on the Isle Of Mann
Good piece. IoM TT2021 had unfortunately now been cancelled - ClassicTT & Manx GP are currently scheduled to go ahead. 🤞

Haha thank you for teaching me more about the government in 10 minutes than I have in the last year of living here! 😂
O GOD I NEED TO GET THERE IS MY DREAM PLACE I WILL DO ANYTHING. . IS A DREAM COME TRUE THE BEST PLACE ON EARTH. . . TNKS SIR BLESS YOU FOR THIS
I've been visiting the island almost every year over the past 14 years. I pray I will be able to go again in the not too distant future.........
Sorry to disapoint you but "The oldest recorded parliament still in existence is the Althing, the ruling legislative body of Iceland. It was founded in 930 and originally consisted of 39 local chieftains. Abolished in 1800, it was restored by Denmark in 1843."
And you just said it: abolished. Tynwald is the oldest continuous parliament.
Surprised there was no mention of the Lady Isabella (Laxey wheel)
Hiiii i live here too! U guys should stay for the TT when we are next on!!!
I have a lot of family there - hope you're enjoying it
the information on this channel is absolutely wonderful. Its helped me to make up my mind to move there.
I live here. The roads are not dangerous it's a tiny minority of drivers that are dangerous that need retraining or banning!
Hey mate, can you make a video about Isle of Man residency or settlement or immigration rules?
Smashing video thanks. Only one thing, we aren'r a Viking island, they were " comeovers ". We're a Celt island, sorry to be pedantic. Keep up the good work.
🇳🇬👌 Can outsiders buy property and would love it if you did a property availability and cost video. Also do hotels quality and cost video
Awesome video :))
Could you please take a video of Tynwald Day and the meeting at St Johns.
Got curious ;)
I had completely forgotten about commag!!
Lived here for over 40 years. Never heard of commag.
I love your videos! Thank you for sharing... how do you meet people on the Island? Are there clubs etc?
Pankhurst mother was from there!!
I’ve just come back from what I know is known as “across”
Sir,
I appreciate the video you post on your channel highly informative, I am considering moving to the IOM, how do I contact you privately
I hope it would be reasonable to live there, renting as wellas buying a place to live. I am considering it as it does seem green with a heap of rain! (and maybe show in Winter?
Ich wäre so gerne wieder da.
Hello Frank, Your videos are so informative and honest. Can you please tell me about the opportunities of Business there?
How are the real estate prices?
What is the process to Buy Real Estate for people from other Origin?
I am an Indian, Can I buy a property there?
What are the prices? Can you make a detailed video on Real Estate?
Hello. I will try and make one, yes. Prices have gone up quite a bit recently. Estimate at least £200k these days.
expect 900k-1million pounds for a house with 3-4 bedrooms.
Can you please tell about the small scale business opportunity's to do in there
Loads of opportunities here. Depends what you specialize in. Any thoughts?

All depends on the job you have here. Cost of living is slightly higher than UK but taxes are lower.
@@amadeusiom yes but the house prices have recently gone up it was on energy
11. No sun :)
speaking of environment, I read on Wikipedia that there is a breeding population of escaped Wallabies. Is that true, and if so have you ever seen one?
Yes it’s true. Never seen one myself.
Yes someone shot one in the head the other day poor thing. Ended up on someone's driveway and having to be put down. Disgusting.
Met one last week in the woods behind my house. He was almost as surprised as I was.
Why is no one talking about the figure of a person in the top window of the hospital😳😳
?
Hi
Can I get job and pay my tuition fees
Start with getting a work permit: if you can.
Do you actually read the comments?
Yes
I have a question why does the Isle of Man not unite with the UK and be a part of it??????????
Why would we? :)
No thanks, that would be a mad decision, small = beautiful!
UK should be dismantled. It's Union based off an archaic concept, monarchy.
Ziad B ... Are you serious? No one in their right mind would want that.
So basically Manx people are foreigners with northern English accents.
