Oh no! Necker Island has been stolen! Sir Richard will not be happy!
I have been sat at my desk counting the days, hours and minutes until I board VS077 MAN-BGI this Sunday.
I have been daydreaming about island life when suddenly I thought of Necker Island. So, straight on to Google Earth with my best two fingered typing, the keyboard was frantically hit with N-E-C-K-E-R I-S-L-A-N-D. To my horror, the earth started spinning from Cheshire, across the Atlantic, completely by-passing the British Virgin Islands then Central America and finally stopped in the Pacific!!! After feeling a little dizzy with this extra unsolicited visual travel, I composed myself. It wasn't an island..... it was a dot!
If this is SRB's island we should collectively help him rectify the situation. I have a few ideas. (1) Have a whip round to buy Google Earth and we can put Necker Island anywhere we damn well like or back to its rightful place! (note to self - SRB might have to cough up most of the purse). (2) Tow it back from Pacific to BVI. (another note to self - will it tow? does it have a 'pointy end')? (3) You V-Flyers at your keyboards decide if we should tell him Necker Island has been nicked!
Check it out for yourself.
Google Earth you should be ashamed!!
