   You quoted 500,000. I asked you if you made it up, pointing out that the   
   UK rate is 115,000. You said it was another figure, I quoted 5.4million,   
   the world figure.   
      
   You are just making yourself seem even more silly.   
      
   Discussing things with you is like banging my head on a brick wall, but   
   less fun.
