Our calculations suggested prostitution might have been responsible for 5% of the bill.
But the ONS argues that that isn't right and that these changes had a negligible influence on the size of the bill from the EU.
So apologies to the Office for National Statistics.
We did ask the ONS if someone would like to come on air to discuss David Spiegelhalter's critique of their numbers.
They weren't so keen on that.
Very wise.
Keith, what are you doing?
Oh, yeah, but this one's about... It's Stuart Broad, isn't it?
Well, no doubt that was supposed to be some sort of profound reflection on the nature of his own good fortune.
Well, tact and diplomacy be hanged, though, because many loyal listeners are keen to know, aren't they, was Stuart, as a matter of fact, correct?
Yes, $15,000 or thereabouts.
Now, it says here that the number is in $2,005, so we need to tweak it to accommodate inflation.
So, if you work at the UK minimum wage of £6.50 an hour for 36 hours a week with paid holiday, at the end of the year, you'll have earned £12,168.
So, take a bow, Stuart Broad.

between the ages of 15 and 19, and they were using the data from 2006.
