    And as i stated before the population is constantly increasing, and while we are at it were are all these thousands of children going to end up working because there is not an infinite amount of jobs in this country.

    Well, I'm sure one could gain employment wiping the dribble from your chin.

    I think the average size of family is 2 children so the population as a whole is not expanding because of increased childbirth

    Why spoil Surrey, it would be simpler and better for the country to just discourage those that cannot support themselves to stop having more kids.

    Well i cant really argue with that because it is a very sensible post, others may not feel the same way though.

    or is that to much effort.

    So even if they do that how long do you think it will take them to save the £110k they would need .

    Still plenty of room though.

    Surrey population density = 667 per sq km
    Monaco population density = 16,923 per sq km

    Oh so now we are building fancy skyscrapers instead of tower blocks, maybe the countryside would look even better with a few of them in it.

    I was just pointing out that there is still scope for expansion.

    The population is expanding but not due to people having loads of kids.
