Subject: RE: Vocab question for UK people
We call the rest of the world "the mainland". We call the Island "home". Those living across the Solent from us are "furriners" or "overners".

If you want any dialect terms let me know, I can still remember how to talk proper even if I have to speak English now I've moved to the chilly north, or Sussex as it is commonly known.
