		When introducing the Isle of Man, it is very tempting to wax lyrical about its many charms and brush over the not-so-attractive bits but to really live here is to experience an often contradictory combination of the very beautiful and the very ordinary, the sophisticated and the old-fashioned, the progressive and the traditional.

	The Three Legs of Mann
		In the Isle of Man it is found on several Norse crosses such as one at Onchan which dates from around the 10th century A.D. Another design which appears to be related to the Three Legs is the Triquetra, or triple knot.
		The triquetra is also found on carved stones in northern Europe and, like the swastika, occurs on some of the crosses in the Isle of Man, as, for example, the Calf of Man Crucifiction slab, which is of Celtic origin and dates from about the 8th century, just prior to the arrival of the Vikings.
		The earliest use, which can be dated, of the Three Legs within the Isle of Man is in 1310 when they appeared on the shield of Henry de Bello Monte, Governor of the Island for King Edward II of England.
