There is reported to be frantic activity on the island as inhabitants endeavor to recreate the famous historical activity of ship building. The potential threat of starvation,has been reported to the EC in Brussels (where else) and to the UN - still in New York. The islands popular web site, much beloved by a variety of eccentrics, has posed a significant question "SymiVisitors?" Pictures of some of the eccentrics: :( :cry: :oops: :P :o :!: :| :geek: :( :(
