So how come the Isle of Wight is/has been a county, but the Isle of Man is not. DISCRIMINATION

It may seem unfair, but its the law;

[From the Royal Charter 1142;]

"Any land or isle, having bothe folk who fornicate with theyre own kin, and also rubbish cats with no tayles, shall not be considered a County"

Them's the breaks.

i think from what i read on wikipedia that Humberside is made up of Humber, West Ridings and East Ridings.

Humberside was formed in 1973 when the counties were re-organised but Hull never had anything in common with Grimsby and in 96/97 ( I can't remember the exact year) Humberside was done away with and went back to being East Yorkshire north of the river and North east Lincolnshire south of the river.

Wikipedia is simply what people add to it; it's not an authority.
