Dear William/Cher Guillaume Many thanks for your information -it is much appreciated by an Englishman with no connection to Les Iles Anglo-Normandes/Channel Islands The author is I believe a lady by the name of Annie Galarneau according to the HTML source code of the website My Anglo-Australian dual national son aged nearly 23 is clearly intrigued by all this -ie that Alderney/Aurigny is about 15kms due west of the western end of the north tip of the Cherbourg peninsular Why and how he asks as we overlooked the marina at Cherbourg over the"odd" glass of calvados ?? So I gave him the spiel about the remaining possesions of the Duke of Normandy Did you know that the Queen is addressed in toasts at formal dinners in the Channel Islands as "Your Majesty Duke of Normandy Our Queen" ?? That says it all Regards/Bon Nuit Christopher Mawhood -----Original Message----- From: William Stormont <[log in to unmask]> To: Christopher Mawhood <[log in to unmask]> Cc: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Date: 26 October 1999 20:34 Subject: Les Iles Anglo-Normandes/Channel Islands >FYI, The site you refer to is hosted by the University of Laval in Quebec, >Canada > %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
