I just want to check you didn't misunderstand my earlier post, because I could have chosen my words better;

You correctly calculated that between 1945-1970 there were an average of 37,000 immigrants each year.

That made the 2007 figure either 6 or 9 times greater than any one year 1945-1970. At least that is the correct assertion I had in my head while I was typing.

However, I wrote that 2007 was 6 or 9 times the whole period 1945-1970, which is something quite different and quite wrong. That would indeed by quite a shocking statistic.
