Tristan Islanders Return Home Reject Modern Civilization
After a year in Britain 270 Tristan Island refugees announce plans to return to Tristan da Cunha. They cite a lack of private property and discomfort with urban life preferring a self sufficient diet of potatoes fish and bird eggs while lamenting crime television and crowded cities. Chief Repetto notes Britons seek to come to Tristan but outsiders would disrupt peace.
