Interesting Statistics

With a hugh essay to write and very little time to do it, Dave did what any good student would. He researched completely unrelated facts on the internet.

Apparently, on average, every year each person in England spends:

?48 on themself for their birthday
?31 on a present for each close friend or relative
?83 on each child they have
?200 on birthday parties

That comes to around ?20,000,000,000 every year for the country.

'Interesting,' thought Dave. He then continued to find more unrelated facts and figures and actually did a little bit of maths.

It costs ?2 to feed a child for a week in a poor country.

Thats ?104 to feed a child for the whole year.

Thats around 192,307,692 children wishing England a Happy Birthday this year.

'That's nice.'
