[edit] Customs check
"Residents did not pay taxes to England and had to pass through customs when they travelled to and from Lundy Island."

Income tax was imposed on the residents of Lundy in 1974 (source: ILN, v.3:no.1, 1974).
[edit] Rats
According to this article http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/devon/4617693.stm rats have been eradicated from the island. DrHydeous

[edit] Legal Latin
There is now a substantial wodge of Latin within the article, which (as it's Latin) will be incomprehensible to the great majority of readers, and which (we are told) "has been (very freely) translated as" a wodge of English legalese whose significance I can't fathom. If the translation is free, surely we can dispense with the legalistic lack of punctuation, and perhaps also with a lot of the legalistic throat clearing. Could somebody who understands legal documents of this kind, or knows a bit about the history of Lundy, perhaps summarize what, if anything, is significant about this? Thanks. -- Hoary 05:15, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Endemics
Whom discovered that the endemic beetles on Lundy were not endemic and when? Please reference these things!!!
[edit] Moving
Do someone know if it's possible to move on the Lundy? I mean to live there, not just a trip. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.70.255.54 (talk) 20:04, 18 February 2007 (UTC).
- Generally, no, it's not. The Landmark Trust, which administers the island, does, however have a few people who live there temporarily as volunteers or employees.--MichaelMaggs 22:25, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
