Maybe? You are the only one who sees it..and it does say at the bottom that "you have already voted on this poll" Before you vote there are no italics. If you hadnt have asked, we would have been none the wiser.

I came with nothing. Can you lend me a tenner

We could use the average UK (non-retired) household size from this link it's from 2003-2004, but won't be that far-out. There is another link that includes retirees too - but IMO I thought the non-retiree households would be more representative of UK household immigrating to Canada.

http://www.statistics.gov.uk/STATBAS....asp?vlnk=8235


So from the link it's 2.7 people per household. To make the maths even easier - just divide the $$$ by 3 to get an approximate per-person figure.
