"Oregon has a population of 3.7 million people, while here in the UK, an area ‘slightly smaller’ than Oregon we have just under 61 million people. And we wonder why we have problems."

Just doing some work & this cropped up as a possible area of interest for a
client.
Thought I¹d share.
if people haven¹t seen it, it¹s detailed background information on every
county in the world compiled by the CIA for it¹s agents

Today I have learnt that the UK is slightly smaller than Oregon*

*After a quick google, I discover that Oregon has a population of 3.7
million people, while here in the UK, an area Oslightly smaller¹ than Oregon
we have just under 61 million people.
And we wonder why we have problems.
Hey, wouldn¹t it be great if we organised an exchange with Oregon; the
entire population of the UK went there and all Oreganos (as I¹m sure they
are known) came here?
Just for a week.
For a laugh.
Who¹s good at organising things?
Hmmm - another google reveals that 7 million people live in London alone.
It¹s no wonder we¹ve had all these floods ­ we¹re sinking.
Incidentally I said that to my neighbour who replied ³Really? I¹d never
thought of that²
Silly moo.
