British statistics

We are in DEEP trouble...

The population of the UK is

Approximately 60 million.

32 million are retired.

That leaves 28 million to do the work.

There are 17 million in school or at Universities.

Which leaves 11 million to do the work.

Of this there are 8 million employed by the UK government.

Leaving 3 million to do the work.

1.2 million are in the armed forces preoccupied with killing Osama Bin-Laden, and fighting in Afghanistan , etc

Which leaves 1.8 million to do the work.

Take from that total the 0.8 million people who work for Local County Councils. And that leaves 1 million to do the work.

At any given time there are 488,000 people in hospitals or claiming Invalidity Benefit.

Leaving 512,000 to do the work.

Now, there are 511,998 people in prisons.

That leaves just two people to do the work.

You and me.

And there you are,

Sitting on your arse,

At your computer, reading jokes.

Is it any wonder that we are in such a mess and that I am stressed out through trying to cope on my own?

I have already been lurking around this website for a long time now and have finally made a decision to join. I must say I enjoy reading about all those different topics on this website

.

I'm a 21 yr old male from Canada although not originally born there. I am originally from Malaysia. I moved to Canada with my family in 2003 and have been living there since that time. Canada is a wonderful place and I loved from the very first time that I visited.

I hope to meet new people on this website as well as contribute to the discussions on this site which I think I should be able to. So all in all great to meet you guys!
