Just Two Of 591,000

While the lead paragraph on this story was that record numbers left the UK in 2006, it's interesting that so many, like us, entered the country in 2006.

The annual international migration figures confirm that an estimated 591,000 people arrived to live in the UK for at least a year in 2006, giving a net inward flow of 191,000, down from the record high of 244,000 estimated for 2004.

In a country of 60 million, that's quite a bit.
