0762, I certainly didn't mean to imply that your figures needed alteration, just that I knew of a different calculation. The Duke of Buccleuch, still Scotland's largest landowner, has recently sold moorland in Dumfriesshire to a local initiative group (at a suitable price of course). The Duke's forebears were gifted all of his lands by a grateful Scottish king for "services rendered" about 500 years ago, so that's where all the inequalities of land ownership began.

On a totally different subject, I'm interested in the notion of a 24/7 vaccination programme. Surely such a programme would require twice as many nurses, etc (which we don't have) to administer the vaccines, as well as a quicker supply of vaccines (which we don't have). Added to which, I understand that each vaccination requires 2 sterilised needles - one to fill the syringe from the vial and one to inject the patient from the syringe.
