I remember hearing "mischief night" on a lot of kids shows when I was a kid. It was like there was someone from those states who was a higher-up executive and they were trying to force the rest of the country to use their dumb word. Never heard it used in real life and it seems it didn't take off.

No one not currently located on Guernsey had ever heard of it. Even if you've lived there all your life as soon as you're far enough from shore it slips from your mind entirely. That's why they don't pay any taxes.

I grew up in the one corner of Connecticut that is shaded blue, and I have literally never heard of this tradition until I coincidentally came across this map just a little over a week ago.

A friend of mine was imprisoned on Alderney which might be the only thing that's happened on Alderney.

Yeah, cows and not paying taxes are the two things I think of when I think (old) Jersey. Jersey off-shore.

I'm from the same and you must be from either Squareford, Squarefield ,or Squarebury. Because it's definitely a thing round' here.

Alderney is famous for being the name of the fake New Jersey in Grand Theft Auto IV. Sark is famous for feudalism. The channel islands have a cool brassica.

Pleased to admit that I was today years old when I learned that Jersey and Guernsey are not different spellings for the same island I blame the fact that the channel isles don’t show up as a territory in any paradox game that I’ve played

They're the same island, just in different time streams. "Guernsey" is from the high middle ages and is the Middle English spelling. Jersey is the modern version. There's some naturally occurring space time distortion going on in the English Channel.

a fatguy baldspot posted:Pleased to admit that I was today years old when I learned that Jersey and Guernsey are not different spellings for the same island The Lux in Tenebris mod for EU4 not only has the Channel Islands a province but makes the one province island nation start as a march of England, which is very annoying playing as France and needing all of Normandy to complete your mission tree, so instead of Jean Bureau gunning down the norman forts and kicking rear end at Castillon, you also need to build a whole navy and win at sea just to finish the hundred years war. Also, admittedly I don't know a lot about the political history of the islands, but it seems not correct that mainland Normandy itself is just owned and cored english land but the islands are a whole independent vassal country.

"Guernsey" is notable for being both the most conservative part of Britain by far AND for being the most anti-Brexit at once. The locals are extremely against abandoning the Plantagenet holdings for any reason.

Nah, I think Finland is getting a great deal actually, they're getting beautiful northern Sweden for one and they get access to the huge iron ore deposit located in Kiruna that has one of the largest iron ore mines in the world, if not the largest.

It was only slightly over one year ago that a Canadian oil contractor made international news for having a decal of Greta Thunberg getting hosed on their work truck. She was seventeen years old at the time.
