Capt, please see #51. Can you clarify?
Sorry Bish, In hurry packing. Flying to Knock tomorrow for 15 days touring Megalithic sites in Ireland.
Difficult getting true stats. Many stabbed don't bother reporting crime as see it as 'normal'. Even hospital treatment reported as accident. Reports tend to be only from innocent victims or seriously injured/dead.
British Crime Survey a couple of years ago (from interviews of general population) put UK stabbings +130.000 per annum.
Will dig into HO/MET stats when I return.
Tomorrow night in Shrine View Guest House! Hopefully will have time to pick up loads of bad taste Catholic stuff to go with the 'glo in the dark' Virgin on my bedside table!
