[If Australia is 31-and-a-half times bigger than the UK in land mass terms but the UK has three times the population, then the UK is lord-knows-how-many times bigger (someone do the maths for me) in one sense. Of course, the figure will be slightly skewed by the number of Australians living over here in places liked Earls Court, London, and working as barmen and barmaids!] I read somewhere recently that England is the most densely populated country in Europe. That obviously doesn't mean the UK, as Scotland, Wales, N. Ireland would have lesser densities. That only refers to England per se. Has anyone else heard that? Diane
