    So 1/8, then. Or 12.5%.

    Of course, that makes perfect sense. Who wouldn't want to round that down to 10%?

    1/8 is practically 1/4. And once you're at 1/4, you may as well be 1/2.

    You would make a good conspiracy theorist. The sole reason for the rounding was my preference for percentages over fractions, for pure stylistic reasons. Sorry to disappoint, there is no great anti-semitic nazi conspiracy behind it!

    I can'y believe that there's a reference to Nazis on a thread about the Olympic games. No wait.......
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    "The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."
