oh about the sheep, yes way more then people....there is about 2500 in total people living here, not counting the 1500 or so on the air force base/airport. Some farms have as many as 50,000 sheep. It was their main source of income for many years before the war in 1982. Then they put in boundaries around the islands, 150 mile exclusion zone, which means that boats pay to have the privilege to fish around here....it is a big money maker for them since. They have a surplus of 300 Mil gbp on reserve as a result. Apparently there are some fish here that can not be caught anywhere else and they are widely sold in Asia and Europe.
It is kinda funny driving around when going to a settlement as sometimes all that can be seen are sheep, and more sheep. They have a habit of crossing the road at the most inconvenient times so you have to slow to a crawl at times to make sure one doesn't run out in front of the rover.
