Just listening to this; not sure there's much that is right. Tynwald does not just meet once a year (it's just once a year at that location). Alcohol and Tobacco are EXACTLY the same as the UK. Also, Snaefell is a bloody mountain! 2000ft is a mountain and it's 2036ft - "You know what these Manxmen are like?" - what the hell ... how patronising can you be? Then, only 5 of the 6 are original snaefell cars are still operational; the other is a 1970s rebuild after a fire.
WE ARE NOT PART OF THE UNITED KINGDOM!!!!!! Most insulting thing you can say. We're also 16 miles from the SCOTTISH COAST not the the ENGLISH COAST (that's about 60 miles)
Very nice video but a little 2010 updating required... No longer a 10% income tax rate I'm afraid. You don't HAVE to come back down from Snaefell summit 30 minutes after arriving there. The Snaefell electric trams run throughout the day at 30 minute intervals from April to September. One last (but rather large) correction regarding the commentary at the start; The Isle of Man has NEVER been part of the United Kingdom.
i'd say about 40% isnt true lol

Apart from that, spot on.
