View Full Version : Green Lanes - Isle of Man
Anyone know of any?
I'm going to have a look at some OS maps tonight when I'm home
Just wondered if any of you have been over there and driven any?
Sorry...
It looks like its going to be up to you to establish some...
Careful though, I think they still have corporal punishment there :(

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birching
"Today birching is rarely used for judicial punishment, and has also almost completely died out as a punishment for children. In Britain birching as a judicial penalty, in both its juvenile and adult versions, was abolished in 1948, although it was retained until 1962 as a punishment for violent breaches of prison discipline. The Isle of Man (a small island between Britain and Ireland with its own legal system as a British Crown dependency) caused a good deal of controversy by continuing to birch young offenders until 1976.[7][8] The birch was also used on offending teenage boys until the mid-1960s on the Channel Islands of Guernsey and Jersey."
I'd like to see them try and do that to me!!!
