Reply to: Medals Table - Top 10

That population data is flawed anyway.
At least half the UK population is forin innit aight?

UK was the only one whose population figure I made-up (to 65M) because we don't really know what our population is. Official figure is around 60M or something, not much changed from before the mass migration. If I go down the park on Sunday, it's about 90% Eastern European and I don't think they are all here on holiday

I haven't checked this overly conscientiously, so it may not be gospel. Notable winners and losers are Jamaica (every half a million of them are the best in the World) and India (all carp except one guy who they have now made a God).

He's a fraud. His real name is James, Gordon is his middle name.

Brown is on his way. He has already sent his best wishes.

By the time he gets there, even Togo would be above GB on the table.
