Visualise cog 1 turning.

Visualise which way cog 2 turns.

Visualise cog 3 moving.

Wonder why your feet are covered in teeth.

Because you're standing at a bus-stop in Manchester and someone has punched you in the mouth?

Think you'll find that despite the stereotype, crime, and more importantly violent crime levels are far higher in Manchester than any other city in the North of England.

thats only because in Liverpool the book containing all the statistics was stolen meaning they didn't declare any figures from 2001-present

No good without percentages please.  And link to definitive proof of those percentages.  Thank you.

violent crime stats in Merseyside percentage per 1000 people (population 1365832)

http://www.crimestatistics.org.uk/tool/default.asp?region=3&force=39&l1=6&l2=1&l3=0&sub=0&v=36

violent crime stats in Greater Manchester percentage per 1000 people (population 2539043)

Title: Re: Manchester gets a new transport logo...
Post by: matt674 on January 31, 2008, 03:28:02 PM
so not only were there more recorded offences in Merseyside but the population is nearly 50% fewer

for violent crimes anyway.............

crime aside, is the joke that the cogs don't work in the picture?  is that it?


Title: Re: Manchester gets a new transport logo...

Can't work.  1 moves 2, but so does 3...in the opposite direction.

if you've ever sat on a bus in manchester you will know that the picture is very accurate and fitting....... ;)

So you've picked out the statistic for reported serious violent crime, not the one for violent crime as a whole.

ok, for recorded crimes of violence against another person in Merseyside

http://www.crimestatistics.org.uk/tool/default.asp?region=3&force=39&cdrp=0&l1=6&l2=0&l3=0&sub=0&v=36

and recorded crimes of violence against another person in Greater Manchester

http://www.crimestatistics.org.uk/tool/default.asp?region=3&force=2&l1=6&l2=0&l3=0&sub=0&v=36

ok so the manchester figure of crimes recorded is higher but then as there are twice as many people living there - as a percentage of 1000 people again Merseyside is the higher of the two
