French Statistics

Recommended Posts

I have little faith in the stats regularly banded about on French TV and in the papers.  One that springs to mind is on the lines of a dripping tap uses 60 cu meters of water a year.  Another article about a chap who uses the recuperated  70,000 litres of water his family consumes in baths and showers to flush his toilets.

This one, in my mind, takes the biscuit.  It concerns a new unit of the CRS based in Nantes, some 200 police who, according to this article:

 "à Nantes, une nouvelle unité de 200 policiers, sur le modèle de la CRS 8, cette unité spéciale mobilisable 24 heures sur 24 et 7 jours sur 7, capable d’intervenir en 15 minutes dans un rayon de 300 km en cas de violences urbaines."

By my calculations they have access to a craft of some sort that will allow them to travel at least 1200kmph to do 300kms in 15 mins.
