Re: Funeral in France
Absolutely right, especially amongst the young. According to this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...y_suicide_rate
the total annual suicides per 100,000 pop. is
FRANCE: 17,6
UK: 6,8
which seems a huge difference.
Perhaps not surprisingly, Eastern European countries seem to have the highest rates.
After buying the place where we live now, we found out that the reason it was on the market was that the father of that family, had shot himself in the garden shed just outside. At the time, I had been wondering why there was just a vacant spot where a shed should have been.
I have heard of several more suicides around here, the most recent one was a 30-year old woman, on being dumped by her partner, she too shot herself in the head. Lots of chasseurs in this area, so lots of guns.
