The Official "One in ten" thread.

Spacky · 18 Aug 2006 at 10:18

Quite simple, all statistics shrink their examples down to a "one in ten" example.

So for those who know of these examples please provide them here and with a suitable aka reliable source

Eg :- One in ten Britons suffer ID theft Source

This hopefully might generate some general tips and statistics for everyone to contemplate, also consider the proportional statistics in relation to the forum population here.

I might agree, but the cat doesn't know what it's talking about.

I need to let this sort of thing lie, I really should.
