I have described myself and others as being Canorky (Canorkies in plural) as a brief and recognizable was of saying (Canadian person with family roots or ties that extend to Orkney). It has saved me a lot of strokes on the keyboard. Offline, I have discussed with other friends and indeed relatives I met on this site from the US and Australia, the apparent need of similar description of our American and Australian friends. Would Amerorky and Austrorky do for our Amerorcadian and Austrorcadian counterparts? Maybe Aussiorky and Yankorky are a little too casual, while they are a touch more chique. My thought is, that as we have no kilt to wear, and no family shield to hang over the fireplace, the least we could do is have a descriptive one-word definition of who we are insofar as our heritage is concerned, and this intriguing new title could define our being to others, instantly. This little reward seems appropriate for all who struggle to learn more of Orkney and our collective heritage, notwithstanding the long miles that separate us from that wonderful place. Maybe we will need a poll from each of the nation groups, which will include others. Must be lots of Britorkies out there, and a Spanorky turned up recently. Gosh! Stephen (Canorky)
