McGoohan Feb 2019 3:35pm, 6 Feb 2019 38,279 posts	Quote Pin McGoohan Q1 So, um - pretty sure that first question, the answer is B. It's the Geneva Convention, innit? Q2 is tricky - what was the working population of the UK in 1978? I reckon the population was about 55 million then, so I think more than half would be working (accounting for children and OAPs and unemployed) and so I'd go for C - 34 million
