Talk:Lundy

Customs check

"Residents did not pay taxes to England and had to pass through customs when they travelled to and from Lundy Island."

Is this still the case? Seabhcán 13:10, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

When did that change? JAJ 01:37, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Income tax was imposed on the residents of Lundy in 1974 (source: ILN, v.3:no.1, 1974).

Rats

According to this article http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/devon/4617693.stm rats have been eradicated from the island. DrHydeous

Legal Latin

There is now a substantial wodge of Latin within the article, which (as it's Latin) will be incomprehensible to the great majority of readers, and which (we are told) "has been (very freely) translated as" a wodge of English legalese whose significance I can't fathom. If the translation is free, surely we can dispense with the legalistic lack of punctuation, and perhaps also with a lot of the legalistic throat clearing. Could somebody who understands legal documents of this kind, or knows a bit about the history of Lundy, perhaps summarize what, if anything, is significant about this? Thanks. -- Hoary 05:15, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

Endemics

Whom discovered that the endemic beetles on Lundy were not endemic and when? Please reference these things!!!

Moving

Do someone know if it's possible to move on the Lundy? I mean to live there, not just a trip.
