Or maybe contrary to your earlier claims about the OZ police force they are in fact more efficient and hence "catch" more crims.

I'm glad someone mentioned it...

factors such as police efficiency, number of unreported crimes..they should all come into the equations. Don't forget that in the UK the police force has so few elements available to deal with petty drug crimes that they started legalising it in some parts of London....

the comparison you reported is not worth the paper it is written on ...

if you live by statistics, let me tell you that 78.5673 % of them are wrong.

sorry to disappint you, but I do not consider myself your mate, so don't call me that.

good luck, wherever you are in the UK.

Given that the statistics were prepared to provide some basis of comparison across 17 countries, I suggest that you check your 'facts'.

Statistics can be far less misleading than their unproven dismissal.

From what has happened over the past few years it would seem they also commit more crimes

Mmmmm....I rest my case.
they catch more crims in OZ

Touche'

Sunnyspell just to change the subject a little here " mate" is used whether you are there mate or not. I had a little old lady say gday mate to me the other day. If you dont like being called mate, i wouldnt come here if i was you. They all use it.

having to explain jokes for Mike ...

when I said that 78.5673 % of stats is wrong ....

it's a stat isnt'it? it's a statement based on a statistical value to say that statistics are wrong...
someone must have left their sense of irony in OZ

I was 99.9% tuned in with your ironic statement.

After many hours, my friends in the sheltered worshop successfully managed to explain your joke to me. I bet you are a scream at an actuaries' convention.

nope

I'm not quite that funny ...

but I bet you work as an actuary at scream conventions ...
reporting how much louder brits are than ozzies perhaps...
in % of course.
