Waiting over...

Brilliant Samak! Yes indeed! Took me forever the first time - I guess you won the three legged race....

Out of interest this was an old Times clue from way back when that they republished maybe 20 years ago as part of an article on cryptics - hope it didn't drive you too mad!

Douglas is the capital of the Isle of Man

Mary - in addition, Manx is the old language of the Isle, and someone from there can be known as a Manxman (or woman)

Hi Paul. Yes, thanks.
Just got back to the site; needed a loooong lie-down after that fiendish clue of yours.
Thanks for confirming the answer.
