    Spot the Miscalculation

    The population of this country is 61 million.
    31 million are retired.

    That leaves 30 million to do the work.

    There are 19 million at school.

    That leaves 11 million to do the work.
    2 million are unemployed and 4 million are employed by the Government to
    look after us.

    That leaves 5 million to do the work.
    One million are in the armed forces, which leaves 4 million to do the
    work.

    3 million are employed by County and Borough Councils to help the
    government to look after us.

    That leaves one million to do the work.

    There are 620,000 people in hospital and 379,998 in prisons.
    Which leaves 2 people to do the work.

    You and me.

    And you are sitting on your bum reading this.
    No wonder I'm knackered

    Not to worry. There are enough benefits to go around for everyone.
