1982 Age (Melbourne) 8 Feb. 16 I met my first Wheneye in the corner of a bar overlooking the sea on the north shore of a small island.

1983 Daily Mirror 25 Aug. 13/1 The [Falkland] islanders now call members of HM Forces ‘Whennies’. The reason for this? ‘When I stormed Goose Green’, ‘When I took Tumbledown’, ‘When I entered Stanley...’ And so on.

1990 Independent 1 June 19/5 In the Isle of Man..the incomers are known to the locals as the ‘Wheneyes’ from their habit of harking eternally back to their former lives, saying ‘when I was chairman’ of this that or the other company.
