The local customs and laws do vary across the British Isles, particularly on the remote islands.

For example, the government of the Isle of Man only recently abolished hanging for treason, murder and software piracy. Even today, the Sexual Offences Act of 1592 makes it is an offence to be gay and homosexuals can be whipped, and often are.

The Foreign Office has a helpful website offering guidance for travellers.

You are making me smile....

I sense a tad of truth mixed with some untruths..........

I wish to read more of your history lessons please! Or write a book! That would be even better.

Bill Gates will be disappointed that the former was abolished...

Better take your passport just in case though.

They are trying to bring this in for travel on some of the Scottish Isles routes so it is not a silly question.

Some sort of joke or late April fool story surely?!

Both corporal punishment and the ban on homosexuality have been abolished in the Isle of Man.


In any event, this isn't relevant to a journey to the Isle of Wight, which is just another county within England.

Anyone know how much duty frees are on the ferry?

Is it possible to book a cabin for the overnight crossing?

Yes, it most certainly is.
Just send me £20.00 cash and I will personally arrange it with the ferry company at no extra charge.

Just don't tell everyone about the nude cabaret, casino, and olympic sized swimming pool on the Wightlink St Clare.

I used to live on the Island and can remember one "well-travelled grockle", on the ferry, saying to his wife - "we must be nearly there, I can see seagulls out there and they don't go very far from land" :rotfl:
