Jacko - thanks! Another mystery solved!
Noreen - thanks for your encouragement, but I've thought about it and have come to the conclusion it is more likely that an Irishman on this journey would think of his destination and not of Anglesey, let alone under its ancient name. Very poetic, I admit, but not very likely. I just didn't remember that 'Inishmaan' sounds much the same. - Susanne
