I agree though, the number of Visa free countries it allowed access to is also part of the mix however, and at 187 for the UK, versus a near identical average for the EU and only six below Japan at 193, I think we can all be reasonably satisfied. Would be interesting to know what those countries are mind.

Probably bigger issues for most of us to worry about.
I guess it's not the actual numbers that are concerning at this stage, more the trend if that continues.

we were able to visit more countries than any other nation without a visa, now we are 13th on that list.
what will be the situation in 10 years?
