I love random... :)

I have no idea, but I want to guess before somebody says the right answer...

Land use:
arable land: 23.46%
permanent crops: 0.21%
other: 76.33% (2001)
source (http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/uk.html#Geo)

32% was just you getting the digits the wrong way round. :)

They just have a bit wider idea about "agricultural use" than CIA.
