> As someone from Jersey, I never quite know what to answer when someone asks what country I'm from.

So when do Jersey, Guernsey & Sark field their own Football and Rugby teams like England, Scotland & Wales, its not like the off-shore tax havens cant afford the talent!

Still I wonder what the vitamin K content is like for these 12ft plants and if they are any good for PotLikker?

Reminds me of Big Cabbage on the Sto Plains between Uberwald and Ankh-Morpork:

"Billing itself as the green heart of the plains, Big Cabbage boasts The Biggest Cabbage in the World, which turns out to be a building erected in stressed concrete to look like a hundred-foot high cabbage, in which a multitude of cabbage-related ideas may be wondered at, bought, and taken home as souvenirs of an exciting holiday. Cabbage Beer may be bought, as can cabbage cigars, rolled on the inner thighs of alluring young local maidens."


Jersey's rugby team is actually not too bad: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jersey_Reds

But like sibling says, it can only play in English leagues.

Also the thing about being a tax haven is that the government doesn't capture a huge percentage of the revenue flowing through it. The government is by no means poor, but it's not filthy rich either (unlike some of the inhabitants).


They do have their own teams, but the governing bodies don't let them play internationally.
