Five Fun Facts About the Isle of Wight That Will Impress Absolutely No-one

Irritate and bore your family and friends this Christmas with five fun facts about the Isle of Wight that absolutely no-one gives a s*** about.

1. It’s an Island.

Self-explanatory. Try this one out at the dinner table. See what happens.

2. You don’t need a passport to access it.

Yes we have all told a hilarious tale about how someone asked if you need a passport to cross over to the island or, if you are a cheeky little jokester, tricked someone into believing you do. Stop now.

3. According to the mid-2019 estimate 141,538 people live here.

That’s nice. What are you meant to do with this information? I don’t know. Maybe wait until the mid-2021 estimate to update this pointless fact.

4. Alan Titchmarsh used to be the High Sheriff.

Who? Fair question. He used to garden on TV. Maybe he still does. Nobody knows anymore.

5. Queen Victoria used to holiday here.

Now she is dead.
