it's on the bbc website? the British public do generally have a good idea where IOM is.

plus the subheader:

>Despite being ringed on all sides by the UK – Northern Ireland to west, Scotland to the north, England to the east and Wales to the south – the Isle of Man is not actually part of it.

does tell you quite well where IOM is.

feels like complaining that an article on the NYTimes about Connecticut vs Pennsylvania doesn't show a map of the USA indicating where the states are.

Brit here. I must confess, I don't know where the Isle of Man is!
