  1. You are NOT from the Isle of Wight if you refer to yourself as a Manx! A manxman is an inhabitant of the Isle of Man. If you were born on the Isle of Wight you would have called yourself a Caulkhead but if merely someone who is an inhabitant, not born on the Island, then you'd be a Vectian.

    It is people from the Isle of Man who are called Manx. People from Isle Of Wight are English.
    Britain no longer has an Empire since 1948, they have a commonwealth.instead.

    There has been a recent drastic restructuring of the education system on the Isle of Wight. Schools were falling behind the rest of UK. It appears you were one of the unfortunate ones.

    Apart from grammar errors, you should note:

    1. It’s the Isle of Wight. Not the Isle a Wight.
    2. A Manx comes from the Isle of Man, not the Isle of Wight. As a native, you should know that.

    Please enlighten me. When did Britain conquer the Isle of Wight?

    We don’t rule the Isle of Man. It is self-governing, as you would know if you really were Manx.

    And we Scots are British. As you would also know if you were Manx.

    They don’t. They rule the Isle of Wight, but the Isle of Man is not part of the United Kingdom. That is why your family moved there. In order to avoid paying taxes the rest of us pay.
