Interesting section on BBC News Online: Brits abroad

2/3 as many again in Cyprus as in Turkey? More than twice as many in Cyprus as in Italy? More than three times as many in Cyprus as in Sweden ... ?

(It is not made clear what "Cyprus" actually is - whole or one part or the other).

Also a very insightful analysis and an executive summary of the full report, plus some fascinating spatial demographic mapping.

Of course these figures dont count London born Cypriots. I would guess real figure is more like 250,000 Cypriots.

59000 brits in Cyprus!!! Fuck me

The rate they are growing soon will be more than the Turkish Cypriots who are approx. 100.000 if I am not mistaken.

Perhaps we should consider union with Britain as well or partition in three.
