I’m actually in Tenerife for the next 2 Saturdays so can ignore my usual visit to “Paris”
Not a lot of people know this but there are no canaries on the Canary Islands. Same with the Virgin Islands. There are no canaries there either.

I know that's a joke but just in case there's a pub quiz question on this, there are canaries in the Canary Islands, but the islands weren't named after them, they were named after the Latin word for dog, "canaria". So it's like the Spanish version of the Isle of Dogs, only nicer.
