Hold that thought for a moment. . . . . . . .

Perhaps its fair to say Oz is big. (over 7.5 million km²)

Perhaps its fair to say the UK is small therefore. (0.242 million km² - slightly smaller than Oregon)

From the (UK) Office of National Statistics:

UK population 2006 - 60,587,000
UK immigration 2006 - 591,000 of which 510,000 are non-British.

Like I said Mike, hold that thought.
