The Isle of Man

[bluejohn66]

Lived there for a year when I was a kid, was often called a... 'come over', local caveman slang for those not born (in-bred) on the island. Watch out for the ruts in the pavements caused by locals dragging their knuckles.

The guy who was to voice Thomas instead of Ringo Starr was a lad called John Bellis, scouser who moved there in the late 70's. His son was/is a professional cyclist that had a bad crash.
Sodor where T is based is part of the bishopric of Sodor and Man.

All I got on Thomas.

Went to school with him. The voice-over thing happened after he picked up a producer, moonlighting as a taxi-driver from memory.
