I'm reminded of Vic Reeves's “37.8% of all statistics are made up on the spot!” 😂.
There's a programme on BBC Radio 4 (with a short, 10' version on the BBC World Service) called ‘More or Less’, hosted by Tim Harford. If you're not aware of it, I think you'd enjoy it. While it has a large UK bias (hence the shorter version on the World Service, I assume) it's a programme where people write in precisely with the kind of questions about dubious sounding statistics and the claims made based on them.
I'll have to look into your previous chapter summaries and, in all likelihood, as it to my list. It's growing a bit alarmingly, at the moment, but I have a birthday coming up in a month 😊. I'm glad you gave a link to independent bookshops. I refuse to buy anything on Amazon, least of all books. I have no desire to enrich Bezos any further than his already obscene wealth and the way he treats his staff is beyond disgusting. Anyway, thank you 🙏🏼.
Thanks Nicholas, yes I love More or Less, I've even been on it a few times myself. Tim had kindly given me a quote for the cover of the new book. If you do decide to You Don't Know What You're Missing I hope you enjoy it.
