I suppose technically "Mainland UK" excludes the Isle of Wight, Anglesey and all the Islands off Scotland. That could make registration awkward in such places. Jim Nor the Isle of Sheppy nor Eel Pie Island, not so sure about Thanet or Ely. -- Wisdom and experience come with age, they say, but I wish I could remember the darn question

I was rather ****ed off to read the other day (in Wikipedia, so it may not be true) that Anglesey is now technically regarded as part of the mainland. Thomas Telford and Robert Stephenson have a lot to answer for.

I didn't realise until now that it was my first trip "abroad"! Jim
