thanks hugh, simon, and molly --- some good info, ta. When my student boldly
pronounced that 80% of the world was surfing, my immediate reaction was to
respond with one of the whopper statistics that seem to roll off the tongue
as easily as did "80%" for him --- but I didn't, because I realised I didn't
have a clue where that stat came from and what the parameters of the study
were - could very well have been a Green Left Weekly tout barking stats at
me...jeez ya pick up info like viruses these days. I just asked if he was
sure; what others thought; took guesses; and then smiled and said I'd bring
some stats this week. So cheers...jOhn...
btw -- In Japan a little over a week ago 44,000 people turned out to watch
Real Madrid TRAIN -- and paid 15 pounds for the pleasure --- how's that!!
now that was on news radio. But that same day, same station, I listened to a
tourism expert make a brief comment in making a point about travel -- he
said that only 8% of Americans have a passport -- which upon further
investigation turned out to be bs. Bah!
