St Helena is a quaint little British island in
the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean.
Population is about 4000, all speak English and
are incredibly friendly. If you drive around every other car driver will wave at
you...you don't have to be driving the same car!
They have lots of old fashioned cars here, old
Ford Capri's even and there are about 3 old Minis on the island.
They are not self sustaining and receive about
23million pounds a year from the British Government ( us taxpayers) to keep the
island going. The only export is fish, and not much of that. They used to
have a flax industry but this has died out.
