St. Helena is the next closest island.
South Georiga is uninhabited.
Keep trying!

Named after someone... can't be Easter Island then (although they do claim to be the most remote).
Edit: Have just cracked and looked it up. I would never have got it! But I maintain my claim for being closest so far...
Do you know, it's not even on Google maps?

Yes. It really is that small!
Despite only having 300 inhabitants, it has 2 churches, a pub, a post office, a hospital and a town hall.
If nobody gets the answer before half five, I'll tell you it.

Right. I'm just going to give you it.
It was Tristan Da Cunha, which is named after Tristan D'a Cunha.
I'll pass the question over to darcle, just to prove that cheats sometimes do prosper.

i had about £50k but i was profligate and idle
if it is an official figure it will have been spun by tony's croneys so i'll guess at a modest £15k
