Sanda Island. Scotland.

Well, yeah, of course there's THAT. But Michael was asking us not to go for the obvious.




Methinks k gets to choose a minisheet. Nice job connecting the dots.

Jeepers, I have had a bellyful of laughs today.
Amazing detective work, I dips me lid.

Now I know what pricked my humour,

It was that Monty Python skit, in "The Life of Brian"
Cleese: "What have the bloody Romans done for us"
The Aqueducts?
"Yeah, of course there's that, but what else have the
Romans done for us?"
Roads?
etc etc ad infinitum ending with "Shut up Reg"

I just knew I'd wake up this morning and find a winner !!

khj is correct and can choose his prize any time up to May 2nd.
CONGRATULATIONS !!

I found the story, and the connection, fascinating.
The Pub is the 2nd most remote in the UK and was opened in 2003 and named after the ship Byron Darnton which was wrecked on Sanda Island in 1946. Byron's son John, also a journalist, visited the Island in 2005.
Byron Darnton was a top war Correspondent for the New York Times.

Londonbus1.....Clues help sometimes !!

Thanks LB1!!

It's been a real rough past 3 months, and I've been at the short end of the stick many times -- and when I got the long stick, it was usually jabbing me or whacking me!

So this was a real nice pick me up. I enjoyed your reading your "clue".

I was a WWII history nut when I was a teenager. And I knew some tidbits about Sanda, because I had found some Sanda cinderellas in a batch of stamps a few years ago and had to do some research to find out what they were.

I'll get back with you regarding which minisheet. So many to choose from, and they are all very nicely designed!

Thanks again!
