Now I know a decent use for the Isle of Wight!

Hooray! At last I have proper internet access again. Hopefully everything should now be fine and you should be hearing from me a bit more recently than of late.

Well now to the title. Thanks to a book I bought my cousin for Christmas, I now know what the Isle of Wight is actually for! Did you know that if every nominally Christian household in the United States opted to have a real Christmas tree this year, the land needed to grow them on would be (equal to) the Isle of Wight? Sorry Smudgie, but if you have a suspicious number of fir tree seedlings suddenly appearing in the garden, just think of how your self-sacrifice is helping our cousins across the pond to celebrate Christmas in style. Oh and in case you were wondering, us Brits would merely have to requisition Guernsey in order to indulge our taste for the smell of pine in our living rooms at Christmas.
