It's just one big old people's home! Don't come here to retire, it's worse than Cornwall. No jobs, shit pay, expensive rent(if your lucky enough)

I was born on the Island but left when I joined the RAF. If you sit on your backside and moan, then the Island is not for you. I came back because of aging family but I wouldn’t leave again, it’s what you make it, as anywhere.

went a few years back,lived in southampton so nipped down to lymington on the ferry and off we went, got to the island and tried to find something to eat, most places were shut but found a takeaway open so bought that , went looking for a layby to stop and eat, followed a dirty smokey bus whilst looking for somewhere to stop , no laybys on the island apparently ? pulled up at a car park where there was some sort of theme park, the cost to park was more than the value of my car , we left , followed smokey bus again , noticed all roads lead to newport including signs that show newport to both left and right ? headed for ferry , got back to mainland , never again

The one downfall island has is the cost of the ferry. Most conversations you'll have with people boils down to that. It's a killer for local people, businesses and opportunities for young people. The island has a lot going for it otherwise.

It's really not easy to get the balance right, the Island lacks many things but has an abundance of natural beauty. I lived on the Island until I was 26 when work took me away, we returned every year frequently visiting family and holidays. A lot of British seaside towns are in a very bad way but the Island is in a much better position and thankfully still attracts many visitors, with lots of attractions, perhaps with the exception of Sandown, which unfortunately is getting left behind.

I've lived on the island all my life and am planning on moving off, it's great for a holiday but to live on it is a nightmare, it's so expensive when you do need to get off, theirs very little to do on the island compared to the mainland, you can't order certain things to the island due to restrictions and being classed as the Channel Islands at times, the crime rate on the island is insane for the population, the hospital is crap and always full, the roads are terrible, unless you live in a main town it is likely you don't get good bus service, it may be beautiful but it's not nice to live here

Don't do it, the mainland is god-awful and in a spiralling decline. Or rather do it, in order to appreciate what you have lost.

@ have you been to the island recently, there’s almost no shops, no activities to do especially winter time, the roads are dreadful, the entertainment is mediocre at best, it’s so expensive to get off the island and you can’t get certain items shipped to the island or services
