Did you notice that all of the people that the reporter spoke to have easily-polonizeable names? Are there many Welsh people called Agnes and Peter?

That number sounds a bit OTT to me. Is it possible for an established town to grow by almost 50% in 3-4 years without people camping out in UN refugee camps (or the local church hall)?

A quick look on Google brings up this article saying that government figures put the number at 1,000 in Wrexham.

Steven, wikipedia gives between 10 and 15 thousand.

We don't know when that was written.

I see no reason why it couldn't be 18 thousand.

I believe you'll find England has changed a great deal in our absence.

The truth is that, almost certainly, no-one knows for sure.warren whitmore edytował(a) ten post dnia 07.03.08 o godzinie 23:23

@ Steven
Very good point!
In the matter of fact -> 40.000 citizens (inlcuding 18.000 immingrants) means 22.000 native population.
Which means furtherly:
in 2004 there was approx 22.000 inhabitans in Wrexham?
If true, this would make your point even more accurate, which gives Wrexham an demographic explosion of nearly 82% in 3-years-period
2005-2007 (18.000/22.000*100%)
If true...
If not, even 58.000 now, while 40.000 in 2004 gives us the rapid
growth of 45% (18/40*100%)in the same 3-yrs-period

Journalists - due to their being so precise all the time! - are so
predestined for Nobel-prize in mathematics or statistics or both. I know it doesn't exist yet->but should be invented->simply to award journalists!

@ Warren (thx for invitation onto this forum btw.)

The GW article nevertheless very interesting in deed!

To avoid too much space & reader's patience consumption by this particular post...there is only one thing, I'd like to say for now...

I can namly imagine the old-good-Blighty could have changed in your absence ...
But as well as Poland has been being changed a bit
due to your presence here :)

Cheers, Dam

Apparently, the local television station did a survey to ask the local population in Wrexham whether they thought Polish immigration was a problem for the town

23% answered 'yes', and the other 77% replied, 'przepraszam, ale nie dobrze rozumiem po angielsku'.
