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?

It's Manchester - someone will have already stolen the teeth.

thats what happens a little further down the M62.............. Wink

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

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

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

Get off here and finish that work you're supposed to be doing Matt.  The quicker you do that the quicker you can get back down here and see to my plumbing.
