All the people in the World on the Isle of Wight.

Would they still all fit on there? And if not where in Britain would they fit?

According to the 'Encyclopedia of Britain', the Isle of Wight covers 380 square kilometres or 147 square miles. There are over six billion people in the world now. Given that they are all different sizes, let's imagine that the average 'area' required for each standing person is about � a square yard. I'm no mathematician, so I suppose I'll be shot down in flames here, but I calculate that 147 square miles = just over 441 million square yards...ie space for about 880 million people. That's not even one billion, never mind six!The Isle of Man is a bit bigger at 227 square miles, but there is still nowhere near enough room, nor is there if you shared the people out around both islands.
Based on the figures above, the area required would be about 1000 square miles.

As I've said before in answer to this question, how would they all get there? Wightlink and Red Funnel can barely cope on a Bank Holiday weekend as it is !!!
